Significance Modern research on the origin of life started with Urey–Miller’s 1953 report spontaneous formation amino acids upon application electric discharge a model pristine Earth atmosphere. Formamide provides chemically sound starting material for syntheses prebiotic compounds; its role in prebiotics is becoming recognized. Kiloparsecs-wide clouds formamide were observed interstellar space. The energy sources explored so far largely thermal, and catalysts used mostly terrestrial. In...
We show that carbonaceous chondrite meteorites actively and selectively catalyze the formation of relevant prebiotic molecules from formamide in aqueous media. Specific catalytic behaviours are observed, depending on origin composition chondrites type water present system (activity: thermal > seawater pure). report one-pot synthesis all natural nucleobases, aminoacids eight carboxylic acids (forming, pyruvic acid to citric acid, a continuous series encompassing large part extant Krebs...
The COVID-19 occurrence is causing a global request for effective measures aimed at mitigating the infection spread. Facemasks have been identified as an essential device people to protect themselves well others from aerosol containing virus. provide critical barrier, reducing number of infectious viruses or bacteria in exhaled breath. present review describes most relevant literature studies on materials and processing technologies used facemask development testing. Antibacterial antiviral...
This work aims at finding an alternative strategy to manage the waste generated by winemaking industry obtain a solid biofuel and phenolic compounds. The effect of temperature (180–260 °C), residence time (1–7 h), biomass-to-liquid ratio (0.05–0.25) on co-hydrothermal carbonization vine pruning exhausted grape pomace, using vinasse as moisture source, is studied. variables investigated optimized Box–Behnken design response surface methodology maximize mass yield, fuel ratio, energy...
The presence of organic molecules in meteorites clearly indicates the occurrence a large panel chemical reactions space conditions. scenarios which these transformations take place are diverse and fascinating: proto-stellar nebulae, dense or rarefied clouds interstellar cosmic dust particles, comets, meteorites, proto-planets asteroids. High energy particles (cosmic rays solar winds), heat, electromagnetic radiations, radioactive decays continuously interact with simple precursors to yield...
The aqueous extraction of orange peel waste (OPW), the byproduct juice process generated annually in massive amounts (21 Mton), yields a carbohydrate-rich liquid fraction, termed extract (OPE). Several studies highlight that combination glycerol, biodiesel byproduct, with carbohydrate mixtures might boost microbial lipid production. This study performed first shaken flask screening 15 oleaginous yeast strains based on their growth and lipid-producing abilities OPE- glycerol-based media....
The genus Aspergillus encompasses several species with relevant lignocellulose-degrading capacity, and a novel species, denominated A. olivimuriae, was recently discovered after its isolation from table olive brine. acquisition of insight into this the assessment potential relied on bioinformatics approach, based CAZy database, associated enzymatic activity profiles in solid-state cultures four different types waste, including residual thistle biomass (RTB), spent coffee grounds (SCG),...
