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...

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/...

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&#...
