Butanol Production by Fermentation of Fruit Residues

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016
The feedstock of the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation is a key issue for the economic success of the biotechnological route to produce biobutanol. Residues from agro-alimentary industries are particularly interesting as renewable substrates for

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Lyssavirus Nucleoprotein Induces GPAT4‐Mediated CYB5R1 Depalmitoylation to Suppress Ferroptosis and Promote Viral Replication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid metabolism plays a vital role in viral infections. Here, we reveal that the lyssavirus N protein regulates GPAT4 to induce lipid droplet biogenesis, restricting CYB5R1 palmitoylation and reducing ferroptosis susceptibility to ultimately promote viral replication.

Deeper below the surface—transcriptional changes in selected genes of Clostridium beijerinckii in response to butanol shock

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
The main bottleneck in the return of industrial butanol production from renewable feedstock through acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation by clostridia, such as Clostridium beijerinckii, is the low final butanol concentration.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Facing Truths About Population Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Populations of wildlife, and domestic animals have large sinks for surplus animals. By contrast, zoos don't. Humans in industrialized societies are socialized with companion animals, i.e. surplus (i.e., typically denied reproduction) originating from unseen breeding cores.

The advanced strategy for enhancing biobutanol production and high-efficient product recovery with reduced wastewater generation

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Butanol as an important chemical and potential fuel could be produced via ABE fermentation from lignocellulosic biomass. The use of food-related feedstocks such as maize and sugar cane may not be a sustainable solution to world’s energy needs.

Feasibility of Thermal Imaging for Contactless Respiratory Monitoring in Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Respiratory rate is a key vital sign in paediatric assessment, but accurate measurement in emergency settings is difficult because conventional methods (manual counting, capnography) can be unreliable or impractical. Respiratory rate is frequently omitted in busy emergency departments.
