Waste cooking oil and molasses for the sustainable production of extracellular lipase by Saitozyma flava

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 712-720, August 2024.
Abstract Organic waste valorization is one of the principal goals of the circular economy. Bioprocesses offer a promising approach to achieve this goal by employing microorganisms to convert organic feedstocks into high value products through their metabolic activities.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Economic and environmental bottlenecks in the industrial‐scale production of lipid‐derived biofuels from oleaginous yeasts: A review of the current trends and future prospects

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2024.
Plant‐derived lipids are promising sources of biofuels; however, the production of plant oils often leads to the release of massive amounts of carbon dioxide due to deforestation and land‐use change. The production of biofuels via plant oils (such as soybean) also competes with food production and in turn, impacts biodiversity. To mitigate these issues,

Skin innate immune response against fungal infections and the potential role of trained immunity

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Fungal skin infections are distributed worldwide and can be associated with economic and social traits. The immune response related to skin cells is complex and its understanding is essential to the comprehension of each cell's role and the discovery of treatment alternatives. The first studies of trained immunity (TI) described the ability of

The Potential of Lignocellulosic Biomass Hydrolysates for Microbial Oil Production Using Yeasts and Microalgae

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The use of food‐based biomass and arable land for bio‐oil and biofuel production could compromise global food security. Therefore, renewable and environmentally friendly oils for biofuels from oleaginous microorganisms such as yeasts and microalgae (heterotrophic and mixotrophic) are gaining interest within the scientific community.
