Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have significantly increased during the past years in the design, control and monitoring of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes [1]. Nowadays PAT is also commonl ...
Abundant in nature lignocellulosic plant biomass represent a promising, sustainable, source of energy as it can be converted into fuel ethanol through the fermentation of one of its prevalent sugar constituents – xylose. Xylose-utilizing recombinant Saccha ...
Build-up of fermentation products and hydrochloric acid at a contaminated site undergoing enhanced reductive dechlorination can result in groundwater acidification. Sub-optimal pH conditions can inhibit microbial activity and lead to reduced dechlorination ...
Sustainably producing concentrated solutions of monosaccharides from biomass is a key challenge facing the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels or bioproducts. Most pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis processes are run at low-solid concentra ...
Xylose fermentation from lignocellulosic material using recombinant yeast cells is a promising resource for efficient ethanol production as a future sustainable energy supply. Experimental approaches emphasize the engineering of xylose-utilizing recombinan ...
The use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has significantly increased during the past years in the design, control and monitoring of pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing processes. Nowadays, PA ...
Most biomass pretreatment processes for monosaccharide production are run at low-solid concentration (<10wt%) and use significant amounts of chemical catalysts. Biphasic CO 2-H 2O mixtures could provide a more sustainable pretreatment medium while using ...
The gene encoding fumarase (fum) from Thermus thermophilus was expressed in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The recombinant cells were heated at 70°C to inactivate indigenous enzymes and used for the bioconversion of fumaric acid to L-malic acid. By heatin ...
Chloroethenes are the most prevalent groundwater contaminants in developed countries. They accumulate in the environment as a dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) which acts as a long term source of contamination. Enhanced in situ anaerobic bioremediatio ...
Chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent contaminants in groundwater due to their extensive use in industrial processes. In situ bioremediation (ISB) is an attractive technology for removal of the ...
