Effective pretreatment of wet microalgal biomass to enhance lipid extraction in biodiesel production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesel is a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Identifying and evaluating nonedible sources is essential to address ecological concerns and meet energy demands. Microalgae are effective for lipid production but their rigid cell walls hinder bioproduct release making the process energy‐intensive and costly.

Effective acetalization of furfural catalyzed by Fe‐ and Co‐oxalates: impact of alcohols structure on products composition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Fe‐, Co‐, and FeCo‐oxalates supported on silica gel (5 wt% metal load) were synthesized, characterized, and tested for the first time in solvent‐free furfural (FF) acetalization with C1–C8 alcohols at 70–170 °C under both conventional and microwave (MW)‐assisted conditions. The interaction of FF with linear C1–C4 alcohols yielded pincer‐shaped

Alien fish shift the biomass distribution towards a bottom-heavy pyramid in the Pearl River Basin, China

Ecological Indicators
The effects of biological invasion on aquatic ecosystems have been widely evaluated, with varying effects at the population and food web levels. However, the effects of invasive alien fish on trophic cascades, biomass distribution, and population ...

Insights from meta‐analysis for efficient docosahexaenoic acid production in thraustochytrids through advanced cultivation and fermentation strategies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative

Valorization of fishing industry by‐products for biodiesel production: Unlocking the potential of residual fish oil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishing waste and its by‐products, whether naturally occurring or generated by the processing industry, represent a significant opportunity for producing high‐value products. These often discarded or underutilized residues can be converted into various valuable products through advanced processing technologies. Among the potential products are

Biomass of macroinvertebrates and physicochemical characteristics of water in an Andean urban wetland of Colombia

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Aquatic macroinvertebrates (AMI) play an important role in the ecology of wetlands, either by their job as regulators of the cycles of matter, as for their energy storage function represented in their biomass, which is transferred to higher trophic ...

China’s ecological footprint via biomass import and consumption is increasing

Communications Earth & Environment
AbstractAs China’s economic and population demands grow, the need for biomass imports rises, presenting challenges for sustainable development and global ecosystem protection. Here we examine China’s increasing influence on global ecosystems through its biomass product consumption and trade using the Human Appropriation of Net Primary Productivity ...

Market potential of biobased chemicals: a qualitative network analysis of adoption dynamics in South Africa’s bioeconomy

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The premise of a bioeconomy is the replacement of nonrenewable and unsustainable fossil‐derived resources and associated technologies with more sustainable alternatives. The adoption of biobased chemicals contributes toward the growth of a bioeconomy and is dependent on market and industry requirements.
