1. A RENEWABLE CATALYST FOR A RENEWABLE CHEMICAL: GRAM-SCALE CONVERSION OF FURFURAL TO FURFURYL ALCOHOL BY THE CARROT (Daucus carota)
The bioconversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol using only carrot bits in water at room temperature and ambient pressure is presented. This reaction led to the bioreduction of furfural with 99% conversion and 99% selectivity to an alcohol. This simple and “fully” green process may represent an alternative to classic hydrogenation processes. Also, witho

2. High Throughput Mass Spectrometry Platform for Prospecting High Value Chemicals from Bioconversion of Glycerin
The use of bioprocess to convert low valued biomass or agroindustrial byproducts into high-value chemicals is an emerging area. However, laboratories usually use outdated analytical techniques to identify bioproducts, losing valuable information, such as the identification of unexpected compounds. In this work, we presented a successful systematic and modern

3. BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION OF SURFACE MODIFIED CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES
ABSTRACT Re-engineering of chemical materials at the nanoscale level that employ modification and improvement in their physical and chemical properties has been constantly pursued for application in biomedical and biotechnology industries. Moreover, immobilization of catalysts on these bio/chemically modified nanomaterials improved the performance of enzymes

4. Enzymatically and/or thermally treated Macroalgae biomass as feedstock for fermentative H2 production
ABSTRACT Due to its high carbohydrate content, algae biomass can be employed as feedstock to produce hydrogen (H2) by fermentation. However, to make the carbohydrates entrapped within the cell wall more bioavailable, algae biomass must be treated before fermentation. We submitted Kappaphyccus alvarezzi macroalgae biomass to autoclave (at 120 °C and 1 atm fo

5. Cattle Manure Bioconversion Effect on the Availability of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium in Soil
ABSTRACT The efficiency index (EI) refers to the ratio of nutrients mineralized/made available in the soil to the total amount of nutrients added by organic fertilizer. Therefore, understanding the EI is essential for recommendation of organic fertilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the availability through mineralization and the efficiency inde

6. Production of Cellulose and Profile Metabolites by Fermentation of Glycerol by Gluconacetobacter Xylinus
ABSTRACT Because of the widespread occurrence of cellulose in nature, many organisms use glycerol as a source of carbon and energy, so these organisms have drawn attention to the potential use of glycerol bioconversion. The bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinus, a strictly aerobic strain that performing incomplete oxidation of various sugars and alcohols to c

7. BIOCONVERSION OF CELLULOSE INTO HYDROGEN, BIOGAS AND ORGANIC ACIDS USING MICROBIAL CONSORTIUM FROM A PULP AND PAPER MILL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
This study evaluated the potential of a microbial consortium collected from a pulp and paper mill wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for converting cellulose to hydrogen, biogas and organic acids. Fermentation tests were conducted in batch reactors fed with different concentrations of cellulose as substrate: (C1) 2.0 g L -1; (C2) 5.0 g L -1 and (C3) 10.0 g L

8. THE FUNGAL ABILITY FOR BIOBLEACHING/BIOPULPING/BIOREMEDIATION OF LIGNIN-LIKE COMPOUNDS OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RAW MATERIAL
Lignin is present in plant cell secondary wall, associated to carbohydrates preventing their efficient hydrolysis, and cellulose pulp manufacture basically consists in breaking down the middle lamella of plant cells, individualizing fibers such as cellulose from the other biopolymers. Different levels of lignocellulose are found in plant residues and they ca

9. BIOPRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SODIUM, POTASSIUM, AND CALCIUM LACTOBIONATES
Lactobionic acid and its salts are substances that have several applications in the pharmaceutical area. These products were obtained by bioconversion through the enzymatic complex glucose-fructose-oxidoreductase (GFOR)/gluconolactonase (GL) present in calcium alginate immobilized cells of Zymomonas mobilis. In the reactions catalyzed by this enzyme system,

10. Asymmetric bioreduction of β-ketoesters derivatives by Kluyveromyces marxianus: influence of molecular structure on the conversion and enantiomeric excess
ABSTRACT This study presents the bioreduction of six β-ketoesters by whole cells of Kluyveromyces marxianus and molecular investigation of a series of 13 β-ketoesters by hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR) in order to relate with conversion and enantiomeric excess of β-stereogenic-hydroxyesters obtained by the same methodology.

11. BIODECOMPOSITION OF JORDAN PHOSPHORITE BY PHOSPHATE-SOLUBILIZING FUNGI
Abstract The bio-solubilization of Jordan phosphorite by the phosphate-solubilizing fungus Aspergillus niger has been investigated. The effect of the phosphate concentration in the liquid medium, the duration of biodecomposition, titratable acidity and the effect of preliminary mechanical activation on the process of dissolution have been studied. The invest

12. Enzymatic saccharification and fermentation of cellulosic date palm wastes to glucose and lactic acid
Abstract The bioconversion of cellulosic wastes into high-value bio-products by saccharification and fermentation processes is an important step that can reduce the environmental pollution caused by agricultural wastes. In this study, enzymatic saccharification of treated and untreated date palm cellulosic wastes by the cellulases from Geobacillus stearother
