The technical feasibility of valorizing tequila vinasse (TV), a wastewater with high pollution potential, through the production biogenic hydrogen via dark fermentation, has long been proven in diverse lab-scale reactors that were operated either batch or continuous mode. However, such systems have mainly tested diluted streams and nutrient supplementation, hindering techno-economic attractiven...

Stillage or vinasse, which is a byproduct of ethanol production, is produced from the fermentation of molasses and is used as a source of potassium on cane fields at Simunye-Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation. Due concern regarding its high salt content and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a trial was established on an S set soil (Mayo form) to study the effect of increasing levels of concentrated ...

In this investigation, a sugarcane agroecosystem at a coastal tableland, in the northeast of Brazil, was screened to obtain bacteria strains able to synthesize poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA), using sucrose as the main carbon source. The potential to synthesize PHA was tested qualitatively by Sudan Black staining of colonies growing in different carbon sources: sucrose, glucose, fructose, propio...
