Abstract The production of high added‐value products from lignocellulose is proposed as a suitable alternative to petroleum‐based resources in terms environmental preservation, sustainability, and circular economy. Lactic acid versatile building block that can be produced via fermentative routes by several groups microorganisms, including yeasts microalgae, which are bacteria recognized achieve the highest concentrations. acid, among other substances, used starting point poly‐lactic...
In this study, bioethanol production from steam-exploded wheat straw using different process configurations was evaluated two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, F12 and Red Star. The strain has been engineerically modified to allow xylose consumption as cereal contain considerable amounts of pentoses. Star is a robust hexose-fermenting used for industrial fuel ethanol fermentations it comparative purposes. highest concentration, 23.7 g/L, reached the whole slurry (10%, w/v) recombinant (F12)...
Abstract The application of enzymes offers an enormous potential in the improvement existing industrial procedures and establishment new processes for obtaining high‐added value products. Enzymes provide cleaner more efficient contribute to sustainability concept. In this sense, laccases are very versatile biocatalysts currently used food, textile pulp paper sectors among others. During last years, scientific efforts have been diverted exploitation such interesting novel fields like...
Abstract Converting waste into high-value products promotes sustainability by reducing and creating new revenue streams. This study investigates the potential of diverse yeasts for microbial oil production utilizing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can be produced from organic focuses on identifying strains with best SCFA utilisation, tolerance lipid production. A collection 1434 yeast was cultivated SCFAs as sole carbon source. Eleven emerged candidates promising growth rates high...
Inhibitors that are generated during thermochemical pretreatment and hydrolysis impair the performance of microorganisms fermentation lignocellulosic hydrolysates. In omitting costly detoxification steps, process relies extensively on fermenting microorganism. One attractive option improving its tolerance to microbial inhibitors is short-term adaptation propagation. This study determined influence recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae in simultaneous saccharification co-fermentation (SSCF)....
ABSTRACT Cost-effective microbial conversion processes of renewable feedstock into biofuels and biochemicals are utmost importance for the establishment a robust bioeconomy. Conventional baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, widely employed in biotechnology decades, lacks many desired traits such bioprocesses like utilization complex carbon sources or low tolerance towards challenging conditions. Many non-conventional yeasts (NCY) present these capabilities, they therefore forecasted to...
Microbial lipids are envisaged as promising alternatives for sustainable production of chemicals and fuels. Although sugar-based substrates the most conventional carbon sources employed this purpose, use low-cost feedstock, such organic wastes, is crucial an economically-viable process. In study, volatile fatty acids (VFAs) obtained during anaerobic fermentation food waste were used to produce in Yarrowia lipolytica ACA DC 50109. Different total VFAs concentrations, profiles carbon:nitrogen...
