In vivo and in vitro bioconversion of

Biogas is a mixture of mainly CH4 and CO2, which can be generated from anaerobic digestion organic materials. The use biogas mostly limited to thermal energy electricity generation. However, the abundance cheap shale gas solar could drive out for such applications in near future. Hence, alternative have recently received great attention among researchers across globe. This review, first time, d...

In order to improve the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials in an environmentally friendly manner, we choose to use the ultrasonic energy. Since enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose represents a significant part of production costs, it is economically advantageous to develop a technique for reducing the cellulolitic enzyme loading. Thus, the sonication was employed in a two steps concept pr...

To supply the increasing demand of natural high potency sweeteners to reduce the calories in food and beverages, we have looked to steviol glycosides. In this work we report the bioconversion of rebaudioside A to rebaudioside I using a glucosyltransferase enzyme. This bioconversion reaction adds one sugar unit with a 1→3 linkage. We utilized 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC-DEPT,...

The interest in using Jatropha curcas L. as a feedstock for the production of bio-diesel is rapidly growing. Available literatures holds [promise simultaneous wasteland reclamation capability and oil yields plant hence fueling bio-ethanol hopes. This research investigated bioconversion cellulose from press cakes seeds, which byproduct biodiesel plant, into ethanol by methods acid pretreatment, ...

A biotechnology for aerobic conversion of food waste into organic fertilizer under controlled aeration, stirring, pH and temperature at 55-65 degrees C, is proposed. To maintain neutral pH at the beginning of the bioconversion 5% CaCO3 was added to the total solids of the food waste. The addition of 20% horticultural waste compost as a bulking agent to the food wastes (w.w./w.w.), improved the ...

Xylans are the most abundant noncellulosic polysaccharides in lignified secondary cell walls of woody dicots and in both primary and secondary cell walls of grasses. These polysaccharides, which comprise 20-35% of terrestrial biomass, present major challenges for the efficient microbial bioconversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fuels and other value-added products. Xylans play a significan...
