An enzymatic/acid-catalyzed hybrid process for biodiesel production from soybean oil
(Elsevier, 2008)The present study is aimed at developing an enzymatic/acid-catalyzed hybrid process for biodiesel production using soybean oil as feedstock. In the enzymatic hydrolysis, 88% of the oil taken initially was hydrolyzed by ... -
Estimation of fungal biomass and lipid production by morphological characteristics of Mucor rouxii
(Elsevier, 2010)This study presents methodology for estimating biomass and lipid production by Mucor rouxii via image analysis. Morphological variations in M. rouxii in relation to its biomass and lipid production were investigated using ... -
Fish powder as a low-cost component in media for producing bacterial cellulose
(2012)Some bacteria can produce extracellular bacterial cellulose (BC). This polysaccharide is chemically identical to cellulose produced by plants but has no associated lignin and hemicelluloses. The unique mechanical properties, ... -
High cell density cultivation of Escherichia coli with surface anchored transglucosidase for use as whole-cell biocatalyst for α-arbutin synthesis
(Springer, 2008)A fed-batch culture strategy for the production of recombinant Escherichia coli cells anchoring surface-displayed transglucosidase for use as a whole-cell biocatalyst for α-arbutin synthesis was developed. Lactose was used ... -
Production of ascorbic acid glucoside by alginate-entrapped mycelia of Aspergillus niger
(Springer, 2007)The mycelia of Aspergillus niger, cultivated in a medium containing 45 g l⁻¹ maltose, 66 g l⁻¹yeast extract, and 5 g l⁻¹K₂HPO₄ at 30°C and 200 rpm, were used as a biocatalyst in the glucosylation of ascorbic acid. Free ...
