Second generation bioethanol production from household food wastes via a newly isolated yeast strain of Wickerhamomyces anomalus
Dazea D., Antonopoulou G., Alexandropoulou M., Ben Atitallah I., Mechichi T., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The aim of the present study, was to investigate the efficiency of second generation bioethanol production from the pre-dried and shredded organic fraction of household food waste (food residue biomass, FORBI) using the newly isolated yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus X19. W. anomalus is a...Read more
Conversion of agro-industrial wastes into non-toxic protein-rich food additives by basidial fungi strains isolated from diverse ecosystems of Georgia
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Tsiklauri N., Khvedelidze R., Kutateladze L., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Great interest to basidial fungi is determined by their potential to convert number of lignocellulosic wastes into nontoxic compounds, cheap food, pharmaceuticals, etc. The majority of basidial fungi strains are characterized by high activity of enzymes degrading plant biopolymers, including lignin...Read more
Acclimation of microbial consortia on acidogenic effluents for enhanced production of polyhyrtoxyalkanoates.
Rokizas S., Kora E., Kalogirou T., Antonopoulou G., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The aim of the present study was to develop efficient MMCs via their acclimation to a mixture of volatile fatty acids, sugars, and lactate i.e. the acidogenic effluents of a hydrogen-generating bioreactor processing food wastes. Acclimation was conducted under sequential carbon (C) and nitrogen (N...Read more
