Hydrogen production from cotton wastes by mean of dark fermentation
(Corresponding) Sołowski G., Konkol I., Shalaby M., (Corresponding) Cenian A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Dark fermentation of textile wastes is discussed in the paper. In the experiment were used cotton wastes. Before fermentation the cotton was hydrolyzed using 0.1 M of HCl. The inoculum was pretreated using heat shocked for 0.5 h at temperature of 105°C. The fermentation was carried out under...Read more
Biosynthesis of Xanthan Gum from Fermenting Potato Peels Extract: Influence of Sucrose Supplementation on Yield and Apparent Viscosity
(Corresponding) Abud A., Silva A.
Topic:
Food waste
Several residues and carbohydrate-rich effluents have been studied as a possible alternative in the substitution or implementation of the traditional cultivation medium of xanthan gum, helping in the management of these residues and, consequently, reducing fermentation costs. This work studied the...Read more
Screening strains of genus Pleurotus for biomass production in solid state fermentation of agricultural residues
(Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P., Melanouri E., Papanikolaou S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
The ability of several strains belonging to Pleurotus ostreatus and P. eryngii mushroom genera to grow on various agricultural residues was examined and their mycelium growth rates and biomass production (estimated as glucosamine content) were compared. Four P. ostreatus (AMRL 137, 144, 147, 150)...Read more
Valorisation of ovine cheese whey through PHA production
(Corresponding) Asunis F., Brundu A., Carucci A., Cocco F., De Gioannis G., Isipato M., Muntoni A., Spiga D.
Topic:
Biowaste
The ovine dairy supply chain plays an important role in Mediterranean economic systems and is experiencing a much needed phase of development and innovation looking beyond traditional dairy products. The same attention to innovation has not yet been applied to the management of the effluents...Read more
Contribution to the exploitation of oil by-products for use in the production of quality feed through the fermentation with the fungal strain LGAM P123 of basidiomyces Pleurotus ostreatus
(Corresponding) KARALIS I., ΑRAPOGLOY D., CHORIANOPOYLOS N., ILIOPOYLOS C.
Topic:
Solid waste management
In Greece, large quantities of by-products are produced annually from urban and industrial activities among them very high olive oil productionby-products. Thus, the interest of the scientific community has focused on the utilization of olive oil waste mainly as a feed using various microorganisms...Read more
Production parameters and nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom cultivated on agricultural wastes
Melanouri I., Fourtaka K., Papanikolaou S., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The influence of two alternative agro-residues (barley and oat straw-ΒΟ and beech wood residues-ΒW) used as main cultivation substrates in respect to wheat straw-WS was examined on the production and quality characteristics of Pleurotus ostreatus, strain AMRL 144. Evaluation included fungal bio-...Read more
Detoxification of molasses and production of mycelial mass and polysaccharides from Morchella conica mushroom.
Dedousi M., Diamantis I., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
The impact of molasses on the fungal mass, valuable secondary metabolites’ production and quality characteristics of the edible wild ascomycetous Morchella conica, strain AMRL78 was examined in this study. Morchella mycelium were produced in submerged, static and agitated cultures and the C/N ratio...Read more
Biotechnological treatment of oil mill waste-water to produce high value-added mycelial products.
Diamantis I., Dedousi M., Melanouri E., Fourtaka K., (Corresponding) Diamantopoulou P.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Several trials with Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom were carried out in liquid state cultures, in synthetic media containing commercial glycose and olive mill wastewater (OMW) with phenolics concentration adjusted to 10% and 30% v/v. Results demonstrated that at the end of fermentation period the...Read more
Hydrogen and organic acids production from mesophilic and thermophilic dark fermentation of sugarcane vinasse without buffers
(Corresponding) Ribeiro J., Mota T., Oliveira V., Zaiat M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the valorization of vinasse dark fermentation (DF) through bioH2 and value-added metabolites production without buffers in two similar Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors under mesophilic (U30) and thermophilic (U55) conditions. An...Read more

Pretreatment of Agro-Industrial Wastes with Basidial Fungi Strains for Effective Delignification of Lignocellulosic Wastes
(Corresponding) Kvesitadze G., Tsiklauri N., Kutateladze L., Urushadze ., Khokhashvili I., Sadunishvili T.
Topic:
Biowaste
Lignocellulosic biomass, including agro-industrial wastes, is an ideal cheap and abundant source of glucose for ethanol production. The complex structure of lignin makes it difficult to hydrolyze the biomass cellulose to sugars and other organic compounds. In recent years, it has become more and...Read more
