The present study focuses on sustainable production of biodegradable polymers by <br /> Cupriavidus necator DSMZ 545 using glycerol as substrate. batch growth and biopolymer kinetics were established in a 7-L bioreactor, which resulted total biomass 8.88 g L–1 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) accumulation 6.76 L–1. kinetic independently acquired substrate inhibition data then used to develop...

The hypolipidemic effect of an exo-biopolymer produced from a submerged mycelial culture of Hericium erinaceus was investigated in dietary-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Hypolipidemic effects were proportionally increased with the increasing concentration of the exo-biopolymer for oral administration. The exo-biopolymer, at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight, substantially reduced the plasma total...

The main objective of this work is the preparation nano-fibrous mats (NFM) from polyamide 6 (PA6) reinforced and functionalized by renewable proteinic waste examining their potential use for sorption heavy metal ions dyes wastewater textile plants. Two biopolymers; namely keratin (from wool combing) sericin degumming natural silk) were extracted regenerated. NFM prepared electro-spinning PA6/ b...
