Production of FAME biodiesel in E. coli by direct methylation with an insect enzyme. [PDF]

, 2016
Most biodiesel currently in use consists of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) produced by transesterification of plant oils with methanol. To reduce competition with food supplies, it would be desirable to directly produce biodiesel in microorganisms.

Exploring the Immobilization Strategies of Lewis Bases on Lignocellulosic Bamboo Shavings and their Applications in Cycloaddition of CO2 and CO2 Derivatives

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Biobased bamboo shavings are used to immobilize Lewis base catalysts for CO2 valorization. Two methods are investigated for immobilization of catalysts: covalent isocyanate coupling and silane condensation. The isocyanate method achieves 100% conversion of cyclic carbonate starting from epoxides, whereas the silane method yields glycerol carbonate with
