• Abstract

  Microalgal oils, also known as "single-cell lipids" from microalgae, become an environmentally interesting option for biodiesel production. Compared to vegetable oils, single-cell lipids have the advantages of high growth rate, less effect of seasonality and climate, use of different carbon sources via heterotrophic or mixotrophic microalgae growth, in addition to greater ease of scaling.…

  Bioenergetic potential of Phormidium autumnale´s growth in sugarcane vinasse: feasibility of biodigestion and microalgal biodiesel, AP.BIOEN.R

• Abstract

  Solid-state cultivation (SSC) is characterized by microbial growth on solid supports, in many cases agroindustrial by-products, in limited water conditions. Due to these characteristics, filamentous fungi are micro-organisms most frequently used for obtaining the most diverse byproducts. The use of mixed cultures or, in this case, fungal consortia, presents as main advantage complementati…

  Growth of Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma reesei from sugarcane bagasse: microbial consortium for biotechnological processes development to production of citric acid and ethanol, AP.BIOEN.R

• Abstract

  Solid-state cultivation can be defined as growth of microorganisms on a solid support, impregnated with or without a nutrient solution, near to the absence of free water. This process presents a great technological potential for food production, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The solid supports used may vary in their composition, size, strength, porosity and water retention, and can often…

  Cultivation of Aspergillus niger on sugarcane bagasse impregnated with vinasse: Influence of solid moisture on oxygen transfer, AP.R

• Bioenergetic potential of Phormidium autumnale´s growth in sugarcane vinasse: feasibility of biodigestion and microalgal biodiesel, BP.TT

• Abstract

  Solid-state cultivation (SSC) is characterized by growth in solid supports, agroindustrial by-products for example, under limited water conditions. Due to these characteristics, filamentous fungi are the most used microorganisms to obtain the various metabolites potentiated in this type of culture. Regarding the inoculum, the use of fungal consortia has been studied with the main advantag…

  Influence of nutrient solution on microbial production of citric acid from sugarcane bagasse, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Brazil is the world's largest producer of ethanol from sugarcane, and this process generates considerable amounts of vinasse, its main wastewater. Because of its high nutrient content, especially potassium and nitrogen, and organic matter, vinasse can be considered a fertilizer. However, due to the large volumes generated, there are several researches about their treatment and reuse. The…
