Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine morphological, structural surface changes (biodegradation) on thermo‐oxidized (80°C, 15 days) low‐density polyethylene (TO‐LDPE) incubated with Aspergillus niger Penicillium pinophilum fungi, without ethanol as cosubstrate for 31 months. TO‐LDPE mineralization by fungi was also evaluated. Significantly morphological...

Abstract The performance of biofilters inoculated with the fungus Scedosporium apiospermum was evaluated. This isolated from a biofilter which operated toluene for more than 6 months. experiments were performed in 2.9 L reactor packed vermiculite or vermiculite‐granular activated carbon as packing material. initial moisture content support and inlet concentration 70% g/m 3 , respectively. As pressure drop increased 5–40 mm H 2 O strong growth observed. Stable operation maintained 20 days 55%...

Abstract Samples of low density polyethylene previously subjected to physicochemical treatments–thermal treatment (TT) at 105 and 150°C or accelerated aging (AAT)–were biodegradation by a consortium four fungi during 9 months. Morphological, structural, surface changes mineralization were evaluated. TT samples showed decreases in the onset melting temperature ( T o ), point m relative crystallinity (Φ), mean crystallite size (L 110 ). The degradation products all treated carbonyl double...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Heat removal is one of the major constraints in large‐scale solid‐state fermentation (SSF) processes. The effect internal air circulation by forced convection on heat and water transfer has not been studied SSF tray bioreactors. Formulation a mathematical model for requires good estimation mass coefficients. RESULTS: A stainless steel bioreactor (80.6 L capacity) was used. Aspergillus niger C28B25 cultivated under conditions an inert support. Temperature, moisture...

Carrier-free immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and polymers containing primary amino groups were cross-linked using carbodiimide. To accomplish this, the free carboxyl enzyme activated with carbodiimide-succinimide in organic medium, then proteins different polyethylenimines (PEIs). The effect cross-linker chain length, amount added bovine serum albumin (BSA), carbodiimide concentration on catalytic properties resulting aggregates (CLEAs) was investigated. CLEAs' size, shape,...

Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives called jasmonates (JAs) are lipid-derived signalling molecules that produced by plants certain fungi. Beside this function, JAs have a great variety of applications in flavours fragrances production. In addition, they may high potential agriculture. protect against infections. Although there is much information on the biosynthesis function JA concerning plants, knowledge these aspects still scarce for Taking into account practical importance JAs,...

Abstract BACKGROUND Lactic acid (LA) is used in various industries and produced mainly through lactic fermentation (LAF). The high cost of glucose, a common substrate, major challenge for LA production. Alternatives like fructans from agave are being explored this purpose, including the production probiotic beverages using sap leaves wasted field. This study aims to compare kinetics glucose identify kinetic factors be optimize future use process. RESULTS found that direct fructan by...
