Abstract Biotechnologies mainly based on precipitation of chemical compounds produced by microbial metabolism can be used as biotreatment or bioformulation construction materials. Bioformulation cement-based materials has been a common research practice, though its application to earthen-based building is still limited. Although earth mortars are vulnerable water damage, they nowadays often pla...

Engineering cyanobacteria into photosynthetic microbial cell factories for the production of biochemicals and biofuels is a promising approach toward sustainability. Cyanobacteria naturally grow on light and carbon dioxide, bypassing the need of fermentable plant biomass and arable land. By tapping into the central metabolism and rerouting carbon flux towards desirable compound production, cyan...

The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a feedstock for microbial fermentation processes presents an opportunity for increasing the yield of bioproducts derived directly from glucose. Lignocellulosic biomass consists of several fermentable sugars, including glucose, xylose, and arabinose. In this study, we investigate the ability of an E. coli Δpgi Δzwf mutant to consume alternative carbon source...

A new isolation and purification method for bioproducts using membrane-encapsulated affinity adsorbents was investigated. The new method involves encapsulation of affinity adsorbents, batch adsorption of the bioproduct from whole fermentation broth and rapid batch desorption after dissolution of the capsule membranes. Recovery of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus was used as the model experi...

A series of novel bioproducts obtained from natural sources (marine, animal, vegetal) have been discovered and characterized for the prevention and treatment of Neuro Degenerative Disorders (NDDs) and vascular pathology. Lipofuscins (LFs) are a new class of lipoproteins derived from the muscle of different fish species. Examples of LPs obtained from biomarine sources by means of nondenaturing b...
