10 Challenges Cellulose and hemicellulose are occluded by lignin, making deconstruction difficult Lignin is recalcitrant to depolymerization Functional groups on hemicellulose can inhibit fermentation & are not efficiently converted to fuels Feedstocks: Developing Bioenergy Crops Somerville et al. 2004, Science
11 Approach Understand & modify polysaccharide biosynthesis Focus on hemicellulose Reduce feruloylation by engineering alternative pathway Modify lignin to aid deconstruction Introduction of cleavable linkages Switchgrass, rice and Arabidopsis as model plants Feedstocks: Developing Bioenergy Crops
12 Engineering lignin composition Systematic analysis of (lignin) cell wall oxidases Develop replacement strategies for lignin Apply advanced imaging technology to determine structure of plant cell walls Objective: change the monomer composition of lignin

14 Impact Feedstocks: Developing Bioenergy Crops Improved understanding of all cell wall synthesizing and modifying enzymes in rice and Arabidopsis Transgenic plants with modified cell wall composition for optimal deconstruction Translate genetic developments from model plant systems to potential bioenergy crops
15 Challenges Lignocellulose is difficult to process due to: low accessibility of crystalline cellulose fibers presence of lignin seal & hemicellulose cross-links small pore sizes in lignocellulose Deconstruction: providing a source of fermentable sugars Acid pretreatment methods result in the formation of byproducts that are inhibitory to subsequent biofuels fermentation and result in a loss of sugars
16 Approach Deconstruction: providing a source of fermentable sugars Understand the chemical and structural changes resulting from current and new biomass pretreatment approaches Understand the fundamental interactions that govern lignocellulolytic enzymes Explore new microbial environments and employ directed evolution to produce more active and stable lignocellulolytic enzymes Ionic liquids as cellulose solvents Rain forest floor
17 Enzyme-substrate, enzyme complexes, and enzyme-product interactions are key components of enzyme performance Delineate the enzymatic mechanisms in lignocellulose depolymerization Utilize directed evolution to optimize enzymes to improve performance characteristics and lower cost Example: Improving enzyme performance Objective: optimize enzyme structure and function
18 Raw switchgrass samples were processed to isolate different parts of the plant Intact bulk samples were then exposed to 1-ethyl- 3-methylimidazolium (acetate salts) at 120 o C Biomass deconstruction tracked as a function of temperature and time Confocal images taken with dual wavelength excitation (405 and 543 nm) Ionic Liquid Pretreatment of Switchgrass Initial T = 120 o C, t = 20 mins T = 120 o C, t = 50 mins
19 Impact Deconstruction: providing a source of fermentable sugars Optimal pretreatment methods for target biomass feedstocks Improved lignocellulolytic enzymes with enhanced activity and stability Understanding of how microbial communities degrade lignocellulose Cost-effective pretreatment & enzymatic depolymerization methods with minimal byproducts and inhibitor formation

24 Challenges Few tools available for bioenergy/biomass research New high throughput biochemical and `omics approaches needed for all aspects of bioenergy research Advanced imaging techniques can be leveraged to characterize biomass and biomass deconstruction processes Technology: new tools for biofuels research
25 Approach Provide technologies for scientific discovery Implement highthroughput off-the-shelf systems Automate, parallelize and miniaturize throughputlimiting procedures Develop new technologies for enzyme characterization Technology: new tools for biofuels research
26 Challenges: Screening for enzyme activities Bioprospecting and directed evolution will generate glycosyl enzymes with improved or modified function Rapid screening of hydrolase and transferase functions will be required to screen for activity (e.g. endo-, exo-, betaglucosidase) We are developing array-based devices that present glucan moieties for enzymatic modification and subsequent readout. Anup Singh, SNL This system will also be tailored for identification of lignase and other lignin-degrading enzymes
