Tailoring culture media and supplementation strategies to the specific requirements of a target product is essential for enhancing microbial production efficiency. This work addresses an unexplored aspect of K. phaffii cultivation: optimizing culture media for metabolite production from xylose, diverg...

In this work, a variant of a β-glucosidase from the GH1 family, isolated from the microbial community of Amazonian soil (Brazil), with enhanced catalytic activity and improved for glucose retroinhibition, was developed. This new variant may become a promising alternative to reduce the&#...

Xylonic acid is an oxidized derivative of xylose that is used by the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. It can be produced either microbially or chemically. Biological production is advantageous because of its safety, eco-friendliness, and mild process conditions. This study used...

This study explores cryogels derived from cotton cellulose and potato starch as templates for soybean oleogel production. Cryogels were prepared using a freeze-drying method with cellulose and starch in various mass ratios (pure cellulose, pure starch, 20 cellulose/80 starch, 20 starch/...

This study compares the chemical modification and polymerization behavior of canola, carinata, and crambe oils to evaluate their suitability as renewable building blocks for polymer synthesis. The vegetable oils were characterized in terms of fatty-acid composition and oxidative stability, and th...

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: investigar a capacidade de 180 bactérias em utilizar glicerina residual de biodiesel para produzir ácido lático, um importante monômero para indústria de polímeros; avaliar a capacidade dessas bactérias de solubilizar ou mineralizar fontes de fósforo, visando&#x...

The objectives of the present study are to evaluate the current agroindustrial system - AIS, in a representative region of the Northeastern Brazil, and propose strategic actions to improve the AIS at macauba value chain. The framework used to analyze the AIS includes data gath...

This article is a theoretical essay that presents the state-of-the-art relationship between Environmental Economic Valuation and the System of National Accounts (SNA), unifying accounting, and economic elements to develop future indicators for Green Gross Domestic Product (Green GDP) calculation.

Conventional breeding of oil palm, a perennial with a protracted lifespan conducive to sustained production, is significantly hampered by two primary factors: its extended juvenile phase and a substantial time period required to reach peak productivity. These constraints significantly delay the&#...
