Summary: A combined pretreatment using NH4Cl impregnation and refining was developed to recover fermentable sugars and improve bioethanol yield, with little environmental impact and reduced energy consumption. High temperature, short-time impregnation led mainly to hemicelluloses degradation and high xylose recovery efficiency. The bioethanol yield and xylose recovery reached high values compared to traditional methods, showing improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Summary: Fungal consortium of Aspergillus niger and Ganoderma sessile along with Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used for integrated approach of saccharification, fermentation and electrofermentation of Saccharum spontaneum biomass to produce ethanol. Different consortium sets were compared for fermentation efficiency, and the combination of G. sessile and CDBT2 showed the highest ethanol production with low phenol and furfural generation. Electro-fermentation further enhanced ethanol production. This lignocellulosic ethanol production method can be a cost-effective alternative approach.

Summary: This study investigates the high gravity fed-batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (FB-SSF) of sequentially pretreated sugarcane bagasse (SCB) for enhanced bioethanol production, using the inhibitor tolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus JKH5 C60. The optimized lab-scale FB-SSF, with intermittent feeding of SCB and enzyme, resulted in maximum ethanol titer, efficiency, and productivities of 73.4 g/L, 78%, and 3.0 g/L/h, respectively, after 72 h in the presence of inhibitors. Additionally, fermentation of pentose rich dilute acid hydrolysate of SCB by Pichia stipitis NCIM 3499 yielded an ethanol titer of 6.8 g/L. The overall ethanol yield during the developed process was 260.1 g/kg native SCB, indicating the industrial potential of this bioethanol conversion process.

Summary: We analyzed RNA-sequencing samples to investigate the mechanisms behind differences in photosynthesis and sugar accumulation between Saccharum spontaneum and Saccharum officinarum. The divergences in sugar accumulation were found to be due to enrichment of carbohydrate metabolism and the pentose phosphate pathway. Compared to S. officinarum, S. spontaneum showed higher enrichment of photosynthesis and more complex regulation of photosynthesis-related genes, as well as a lack of gene interactions with sulfur assimilation stimulated by photorespiration.

Solidified PVDF gels were used to prepare membranes via the phase inversion process, and the fabricated membranes retained molecular integrity and exhibited a symmetric bi-continuous porous structure. The membranes fabricated from waste gels showed potential as microfiltration membranes with a pure water flux of 478 LMH and a mean pore size of about 0.2 μm. Additionally, the membranes demonstrated good recyclability in the clarification of industrial wastewater with a flux recovery of about 52%.

Summary: This study compared the environmental impacts of PUFA production from microalgae and farmed fish, finding that PUFA produced from microalgae via heterotrophy had significantly lower PED and EI compared to PUFA produced via photoautotrophy. Additionally, the PED and EI of PUFA production from farmed fish were higher than that produced from microalgae cultivated via heterotrophy, suggesting that microalgae-derived PUFA could potentially replace fish oil in fish feed and reduce pressure on oceans.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
