The effect of different pretreatment approaches based on alkali (NaOH)/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) willow sawdust (WS) biomass, in terms delignification efficiency, structural changes lignocellulose and subsequent fermentation toward ethanol, was investigated. Bioethanol production carried out using the conventional yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as well three non-conventional yeasts strains, i.e., Pichia stipitis, Pachysolen tannophilus, Wickerhamomyces anomalus X19, separately co-cultures....
The over use of pharmaceutical compounds, essentially antibiotics, led to an increase their concentrations in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the white-rot fungus Coriolopsis gallica (high-laccase-producing fungus) was investigated for biodegradation ampicillin (AMP) under different cultivation conditions. biotransformation antibiotic confirmed by means high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and antibacterial activity evaluated via bacterial growth inhibition agar well diffusion...
Due to widespread overuse, pharmaceutical compounds, such as antibiotics, are becoming increasingly prevalent in greater concentrations aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the capacity of white-rot fungus, Coriolopsis gallica (a high-laccase-producing fungus), biodegrade ampicillin under different cultivation conditions. The biodegradation antibiotic was confirmed using high-performance liquid chromatography, and its antibacterial activity evaluated bacterial growth inhibition...
Abstract This study investigates the optimization of culture conditions for enhancing Photorhabdus temperata biopesticide production using wastewater (WS4) as a raw material. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to evaluate effects carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N), sodium chloride concentration and inoculum size on P. biomass insecticidal activity. For an enhanced production, optimum operating were follows: = 4%; C/N 12.5 [NaCl] 4 g/L two responses. 1.95 2.75 fold improvements in oral toxicity...
Abstract This study investigates the optimization of culture conditions for enhancing Photorhabdus temperata biopesticide production using wastewater (WS4) as a raw material. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to evaluate effect carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N), NaCl concentration and inoculum size on biomass insecticidal activity. Modelling results suggest that selected variables had contributed significantly responses. For enhanced optimum operation were follow: size=4 %; C/N ratio=12.5 sodium...
The aim of the present study, was to investigate efficiency second generation bioethanol production from pre-dried and shredded organic fraction household food waste (food residue biomass, FORBI) using newly isolated yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus X19. W. is a physiologically versatile strain, capable growing on wide range carbon sources, under low pH, high osmotic pressure anaerobic conditions. Due those characteristics exibits stress tolerance can be exploited as biocatalyst for various...
