Sustainable green pretreatment approach to biomass-to-energy conversion using natural hydro-low-transition-temperature mixtures
10.1016/j.biortech.2018.04.039 2018-04-12 Natural hydro-low-transition-temperature mixtures (NH-LTTMs) tend to be the most favorable next-generation green solvents for biomass pretreatment, as it is cheap and environmental friendly. The amount of water bound into the NH-LTTMs greatly affected their t... |

Biodegradation of acrylamide by a novel isolate, Cupriavidus oxalaticus ICTDB921: identification, and characterization of the acrylamidase produced
10.1016/j.biortech.2018.04.012 2018-04-06 Acrylamide is neurotoxic, genotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic. Its widespread use in various industrial processes leads to environmental contamination. Acrylamidase produced by certain bacteria degrade acrylamide to acrylic acid and ammonia. The present s... |

Conversion and recovery of saponifiable lipids from microalgae using a nonpolar solvent via lipase-assisted extraction
10.1016/j.biortech.2018.03.129 2018-04-01 A single-step method for transesterifying and recovering lipids in concentrated slurries (ca 20% w/w solids) of ruptured microalgae is presented. A soluble Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) was used to directly transesterify the lipids in the marine microalgae N... |
