This proposal intends to face technological challenges put forth by a new conception of integrated biorefinery, taking advantage of synergies between the production processes of the two most important biofuels in the Brazilian context: 1st and 2nd generation bioethanol from sugarcane, and biodiesel from vegetable oils and of microbial origin. With this purpose, researchers with large expe…
Vinasse pre-treatment is an important step to reduce toxicity to the cultivation of microorganisms of biotechnological interest. The use of vinasse pretreatment using ozone, for example, has demonstrated that the degradation of inhibitory compounds, such as phenolic compounds, promoted an increase in the accumulation of biomass and lipids by Mucor circinelloides within the range of 30%. H…
The production of sugar-based ethanol from sugarcane generates vinasse as one of the by-products, which is characterized by its high organic load, sulfate and potassium and low nitrogen concentration. The chemical characterization of vinasse prevents it from being an efficient microbial culture medium for fungi, which, for instance, could produce high-value metabolites. There are, however…
