Biochar‐based fertilizers increase crop yields in acidic tropical soils

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Depletion of soil organic carbon and nutrients creates mounting challenges for agricultural production in tropical regions, putting livelihoods and food security at risk. Biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) has been suggested as a tool to maintain yields while concurrently improving soil organic carbon content and related soil functions. This study

Bioethanol production from fruit waste using a microbial co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 and Candida albicans GP1

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the sustainable valorization of fruit waste (FW) for bioethanol production using a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that combines fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis in a single step. A co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 (a multienzyme producer) and Candida albicans GP1 (a fermentative yeast) was employed to maximize ...

Effects of aging, climatic, physical factors, and site on quality parameters of the bark of black wattle (Acacia mearnsii de Wild.)

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) is a key tree crop in South Africa, valued for its bark and timber, both of which contribute significantly to export revenue. Wattle bark harvesting begins with the rainy season in September and extends to May. During this time, harvested bark is transported to three processing facilities.
