A defined two-member synthetic coculture pairing engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and engineered Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 for upgrading a synthetic lignocellulosic hydrolysate. A. baylyi ADP1 bioconverts the furan aldehyde inhibitors furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural that are present in lignocellulose hydrolysates without competing with S. cerevisiae for substrates, while also redirecting S. cerevisiae's residual carbon sources and byproducts into wax esters. The detoxification function raises S. cerevisiae's lactic acid productivity approximately 1.5-fold compared to a monoculture, making the coculture a candidate platform for inhibitor-tolerant lignocellulose conversion.
