Lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides during growth on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol
Sarantou S., Stoforos N., Ourania K., Diamantopoulou P., (Corresponding) Papanikolaou S.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444 when grown on biodiesel-derived glycerol under nitrogen-limited conditions was revealed as an efficient microbial lipid produced. This strain when cultivated on glycerol at initial concentration (Gly0) ~50 g/L produced dry cell weight (DCW) =18.1 g/L containing...Read more

Evaluation of the potential of four microalgal-bacterial symbiotic association on wastewater treatment and lipid accumulation
Talapatra K., Mittal V., (Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems have demonstrated greater benefits over the pure culture of microalgae. The existence of certain bacteria will increase the quality of sewage purification and also reduce the associated high capital cost for maintaining the pure culture of microalgae. In this...Read more
Microalgae biomass cultivation and harvesting optimization in biological carbon capture and utilization systems for biofuels production
(Corresponding) Senatore V., Zarra T., Oliva G., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The boosting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activity contributes significantly to climate change. According to the Green Deal by 2050, net zero greenhouse gas emissions must be achieved. Therefore, actions are needed in order to control GHG emissions. The...Read more
Biodiesel Properties from Chlorella sorokiniana Bio-Oil Cultivated Heterotrophically with Industrial By-Products
Kokkalis A., Kasiteropoulou D., Papadopoulou A., Metsoviti M., Mpesios A., Gougoulias N., Spiliotis X., (Corresponding) Papapolymerou G.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The fatty acid (FA) distribution of bio-oil derived from Chlorella sorokiniana and the biodiesel basic properties were examined. C. sorokiniana was cultivated heterotrophically in two growth media: a) glycerol and inorganic salts (GLIN) and b) glycerol and anaerobic digestrate (GLAD). The...Read more

The effect of HRT in the successful bioaugmentation of CSTRs working under ammonia toxicity
Tzenos C., Christou M., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Kotsopoulos T.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
High levels of ammonia is a common inhibitory factor in anaerobic digestion (AD) resulting in low methane production and unbalance of the process. In the present study, the adjustment of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the bioaugmentation process (BP) are investigated to counter the negative...Read more
Biorefinery model for the production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic biomass
Vela-García N., (Corresponding) Bolonio D., J. Chuck C., García-Martínez M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
This work studies advanced biofuel and biomaterials production using lignocellulosic biomass from poplar crops. In this sense, lignocellulosic biomass transformation into biojet fuel, bioLPG, green diesel and High-Density Polyethylene (HPDE) was studied through an exhaustive evaluation, including a...Read more
Enrichment of mesophilic syngas-converting consortia for methane production
García S., Muñoz R., (Corresponding) Lebrero R.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The use of waste biomass as raw material for syngas production has emerged as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to the conventional gasifiable feedstock. In addition, syngas bioconversion into value-added compounds could be an interesting approach for carbon fixation and syngas...Read more
Direct upgrading of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion: preliminary results at laboratory scale
Bonaccorsi L., Fazzino F., Fotia A., Malara A., Pedullà A., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The present study investigated, at laboratory scale, the possibility of achieving biogas upgrading with a single step of treatment, namely without involving any pre- or post-treatment or multiple stage recirculation. In this respect, three commercial molecular sieves (i.e., Honeywell 13X, 4A, and...Read more
