Swinnen S, Zurek C, Kramer M, Heger R, Domeyer J, Ziegler J, et al.
PLoS One . 2022 Dec; 17(12):e0279562. PMID: 36580476
Caldicellulosiruptor is a genus of thermophilic to hyper-thermophilic microorganisms that express and secrete an arsenal of enzymes degrading lignocellulosic biomasses into fermentable sugars. Because of this distinguished feature, strains of...

Biotechnol Biofuels Bioprod . 2022 May; 15(1):44. PMID: 35501875
Background: Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosic biomass to L-lactic acid using thermophilic cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic bacteria provides a promising solution for efficient lignocellulose conversion without the need for additional cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic enzymes. Most...

Fernandez-Nino M, Pulido S, Stefanoska D, Perez C, Gonzalez-Ramos D, van Maris A, et al.
FEMS Yeast Res . 2018 Sep; 18(8). PMID: 30219856
Acetic acid tolerance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is manifested in several quantifiable parameters, of which the duration of the latency phase is one of the most studied. It has...

Swinnen S, Henriques S, Shrestha R, Ho P, Sa-Correia I, Nevoigt E
Microb Cell Fact . 2017 Jan; 16(1):7. PMID: 28068993
Background: Besides being a major regulator of the response to acetic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transcription factor Haa1 is an important determinant of the tolerance to this acid. The...

Ho P, Swinnen S, Duitama J, Nevoigt E
Biotechnol Biofuels . 2017 Jan; 10:10. PMID: 28053667
Background: Glycerol is an abundant by-product of biodiesel production and has several advantages as a substrate in biotechnological applications. Unfortunately, the popular production host can barely metabolize glycerol by nature....

Klein M, Swinnen S, Thevelein J, Nevoigt E
Environ Microbiol . 2016 Nov; 19(3):878-893. PMID: 27878932
There is huge variability among yeasts with regard to their efficiency in utilizing glycerol as the sole source of carbon and energy. Certain species show growth rates with glycerol comparable...

Klein M, Carrillo M, Xiberras J, Islam Z, Swinnen S, Nevoigt E
Metab Eng . 2016 Nov; 38:464-472. PMID: 27750033
One advantage of using glycerol as a carbon source for industrial bioprocesses is its higher degree of reduction compared to glucose. In order to exploit this reducing power for the...

Gonzalez-Ramos D, Gorter de Vries A, Grijseels S, van Berkum M, Swinnen S, van den Broek M, et al.
Biotechnol Biofuels . 2016 Aug; 9:173. PMID: 27525042
Background: Acetic acid, released during hydrolysis of lignocellulosic feedstocks for second generation bioethanol production, inhibits yeast growth and alcoholic fermentation. Yeast biomass generated in a propagation step that precedes ethanol...

Swinnen S, Ho P, Klein M, Nevoigt E
Metab Eng . 2016 Mar; 36:68-79. PMID: 26971668
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae generally shows a low natural capability to utilize glycerol as the sole source of carbon, particularly when synthetic medium is used and complex supplements are omitted....
