Three different types of biomass sourced from forestry waste (eucalyptus residues), agricultural waste (wheat straw), and energy crop (miscanthus) were used as starting materials to produce hemicellulosic sugars, furans (furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural), and oligosaccharides. A two-step hybrid process was implemented; biomass was first autohydrolysed without any additive to extract hemicelluloses and dissolve it in water. Then, the hydrolysate was treated with a solid acid catalyst, TiO2-WOx, in order to achieve hydrolysis and produce monomeric sugars and furans. This article investigates the role of the biomass type, autohydrolysis experimental conditions, polymerisation degree and composition of hemicelluloses on the performance of the process coupling autohydrolysis and catalytic hydrolysis. The highest global yields of both oligosaccharides and monomeric sugars were obtained from Eucalyptus (37% and 18%, respectively).

Abstract Pseudomonas putida MPE exemplifies a novel clade of manganese-dependent single-strand DNA endonuclease within the binuclear metallophosphoesterase superfamily. MPE is encoded within a widely conserved DNA repair operon. Via structure-guided mutagenesis, we identify His113 and His81 as essential for DNA nuclease activity, albeit inessential for hydrolysis of bis-p-nitrophenylphosphate. We propose that His113 contacts the scissile phosphodiester and serves as a general acid catalyst to expel the OH leaving group of the product strand. We find that MPE cleaves the 3′ and 5′ single-strands of tailed duplex DNAs and that MPE can sense and incise duplexes at sites of short mismatch bulges and opposite a nick. We show that MPE is an ambidextrous phosphodiesterase capable of hydrolyzing the ssDNA backbone in either orientation to generate a mixture of 3′-OH and 3′-PO4 cleavage products. The directionality of phosphodiester hydrolysis is dictated by the orientation of the water nucleophile vis-à-vis the OH leaving group, which must be near apical for the reaction to proceed. We propose that the MPE active site and metal-bound water nucleophile are invariant and the enzyme can bind the ssDNA productively in opposite orientations.
