Insect frass as a fertilizer for the cultivation of protein-rich Chlorella vulgaris

Bioresource Technology Reports
Replacing the large amounts of chemical fertilizer with nutrients from waste or residual streams is an important factor to make microalgal production more sustainable, cost-effective, and part of a circular bioeconomy. This is the first study to investigate insect frass as a potential nutrient source for microalgal cultivation, and its effect on the ...

Glycerol conversion and power generation in microbial fuel cells: insect exuviae biochar as electrodes and insect frass as biostimulants

Journal of Insects as Food and Feed
Abstract Insects are a suitable raw material for refinement into biodiesel owing to their high fat content, but the refining process produces large amounts of insect waste and glycerol as a byproduct. Biochar electrodes were produced from insect waste for application in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and experiments
