Fermentative valorisation of agri-food residues: optimisation of Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum fermentation conditions for the production of platform organic acids

Introduction Organic acid fermentation is a key route for integrating second-generation (2G) biomass into biorefineries and promoting industrial symbiosis between agri-food residues and platform-chemical production. However, plant matrices such as tomato pomace (TP) and spent coffee grounds (SCG) show limited carbon ac...

Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from Oil Palm Waste Using Paraburkholderia sp. PFN29

The increasing accumulation of plastic waste has intensified efforts to identify sustainable biodegradable alternatives. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polyesters with properties similar to conventional plastics; however, their commercial feasibility is limited by high production costs. This study investiga...

Integrated Valorization of Macroalgae in a Recyclable Ionic Liquid: Hydrothermal Production of Formic and Levulinic Acids with Product Recovery and Biohydrogen Generation

Marine macroalgae are drawing growing interest as underutilized feedstocks for chemicals and fuels and as high-productivity, carbon-assimilating biomass that could contribute to carbon capture and sequestration strategies. Here, we investigate an ionic-liquid-assisted hydrothermal conversion of Gracilaria verrucosa (...

Ammonia-Derived Acidic Compound Pretreatment: Fractionation of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Boosting Enzymatic Hydrolysis to Efficiently Produce Bioethanol by Yeast.

Development of pretreatment to reduce biomass recalcitrance is essential to produce fermentable sugars, which is used as carbon sources for microorganisms to synthesize biofuels. Lignin in lignocellulose is generally removed by alkaline pretreatment (e.g., NH4OH, ethanediamine), while the severe environment causes equi...

High-Yield and High-Titer Production of Levulinic Acid from Red Macroalgae via Sulfuric Acid-Catalyzed Hydrolysis: Optimization by Response Surface Methodology and Application to Actual Biomass

Levulinic acid (LA) is a versatile bio-based platform chemical with wide-ranging applications in biofuels, solvents, and biodegradable materials. To establish an efficient LA production strategy, red macroalgae were selected as the biomass feedstock due to their high carbohydrate content—particularly galactan, which is...
