Biofuels produced from photosynthetic microorganisms such as microalgae and cyanobacteria could potentially replace fossil fuels they offer several advantages over lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, energy production potential in the form of bioethanol was examined using different biomasses derived growth a cyanobacteria-based microbial consortium on chemical medium agro-industrial wastewaters (i.e., dairy wastewater, winery wastewater mixed winery–raisin effluent) supplemented with...
The marine microalgae Tetraselmis striata was cultivated in drilling waters with different salinities. Growth substrate optimization performed while the effects of pH, temperature, photoperiod and CO2 flow rate on biomass productivity its composition were studied. Results showed that strain grew better 2.8% employing fertilizer Nutri-Leaf together ΝaHCO3. A pH value 8 resulted high (79.8 mg L−1 d−1) (proteins 51.2% d.w., carbohydrates 14.6% lipids 27.8% d.w. total chlorophylls 5.1% d.w.)....
Marine microalgae are considered an important feedstock of multiple valuable metabolic compounds high biotechnological potential. In this work, the marine microalga Tetraselmis striata was cultivated in different scaled photobioreactors (PBRs). Initially, experiments were performed using two growth substrates (a modified F/2 and commercial fertilizer Nutri-Leaf (30% TN—10% P—10% K)) to identify most efficient low-cost medium. These took place 4 L glass aquariums at laboratory scale a 9...
Poultry litter extract (PLE) was treated using a microbial consortium dominated by the filamentous cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp. in synergy with heterotrophic microorganisms of poultry waste. Laboratory- and pilot-scale experiments were conducted under aerobic conditions suspended attached growth photobioreactors. Different dilutions performed, leading to different initial pollutant (nitrogen, phosphorus, dissolved chemical oxygen demand (d-COD), total sugars) concentrations. Significant...
Blood transfusion may adversely affect the prognosis following surgery for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Conventionally by most thoracic surgeons, a perioperative haemoglobin (Hb) less than 10 g/dl has been considered trigger. In this prospective trial we have (a) evaluated overall blood requirements and factors associated with an increased need (b) in subsequent subset of patients, tested hypothesis that elective anaemia after major resection be safely tolerated early postoperative...
Abstract BACKGROUND Fruit juices are an exceptional source of nutrients; however, due to their short shelf‐life and vulnerability microbial degradation, large volumes juice regularly discarded worldwide. As a wastewater, fruit (DFJ) possess high organic loads with significant amounts nitrogen phosphorus, making them suitable substrate for growth produce natural bioactive compounds. RESULTS Discarded were treated simultaneously valorized (producing lipids) using consortium dominated by the...
<i>Background:</i> Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors with varying potential for malignancy. Although traumatic splenic rupture is common, spontaneous a rare event. <i>Case Report:</i> We present an unusual case rupture, due to otherwise asymptomatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma tail pancreas. <i>Conclusion:</i> A tumor may uncommonly as probably venous congestion and infiltration spleen, requiring emergency surgical treatment.
