Due to its low carbon footprint and environmental friendliness, polylactic acid (PLA) is one of
the most widely produced bioplastics in the world. Manufacturing attempts to partially …

Municipal organic waste (biowaste) consists of food derived starch, protein and sugars, and
lignocellulose derived cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin. Proper management …

This study systematically evaluated and compared different inoculum pretreatment methods
to quickly select dark fermentative bacteria from anaerobic sludge for the bioconversion of …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a matured technology for waste (water) remediation/stabilization

This study investigated the effects of varying zero-valent iron (ZVI)(0 to 5,000 mg/L) on
fermentative hydrogen (H 2) production, metabolic pattern, and taxonomic profile by using …

Anaerobic co-fermentation is an interesting process that can efficiently valorize complex
organic substrates by converting them into lactic acid. One of the main issues, however, is …

Lactic acid (LA) is a crucial chemical which has been widely used for industrial application.
Microbial fermentation is the dominant pathway for LA production and has been regarded as …

Alkanes and alkenes are high-value platform chemicals that can be synthesized by
microorganisms, utilizing organic residues from agri-food industries and municipalities …

Lactic acid production under anaerobic dark fermentation is inversely related to hydrogen (H
2) production. In this study, a novel pH regulation mechanism was proposed to convert lactic …

The use of biological processes for the treatment of asbestos cement waste (ACW) has
gained interest in recent years. Nevertheless, this methodology is not yet consolidated …
