Poly-hydroxyalkanoates production from mixed microbial cultures: effect of dissolved oxygen and pH.

Kora E., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Bioplastics
The accumulation potential of poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) produced from an acclimated mixed microbial culture (MMC) under different dissolve oxygen (DO) levels and pH was investigated, using volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as carbon source. Specifically, the PHAs production potential of the MMC was...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

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Production from the Liquid Fraction of dried/shredded Food Waste

Filippou K., Bouzani E., Kora E., Ntaikou I., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Bioplastics
An enriched culture of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)-forming bacteria was developed using the liquid fraction (condensate) which is generated during drying and shredding of food waste. A mixed enriched culture was used for the production of PHAs, in two Draw-Fill Reactors (DFRs). The culture was...Read more

PLA based nanocomposites with Cellulosic and Lignocellulosic nanofibers as a biodegradable solution for green food packaging

(Corresponding) Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Mathioudakis G., Beobide A., Sideri S., Deze E., Voyiatzis G.
Topic: 
Bioplastics
The HIPERION project aims at the sustainable production of various types of nanocellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNF), nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), for the development of high-performance industrial materials for...Read more
