Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production plays an important role in the process of anaerobic digestion (AD), which is often the critical factor determining the metabolic pathways and energy recovery efficiency. Fermenting bacteria and acetogenic bacteria are in syntrophic relations during AD. Thus, clear elucidation of the interspecies electron trans...

The aim of this present research is to enhance the squalene production in Yarrowia lipolytica using pathway engineering and bioprocess engineering. Firstly, to improve the production of squalene, the endogenous HMG-CoA reductase (HMG1) was overexpressed in Y. lipolytica to yield 208.88 mg/L squalene. Secondly, the HMG1 and diacylglycerol acyltranfe...

Pseudomonas sp. HXF1, a strain capable of heterotrophic nitrification, aerobic denitrification (HNAD), and biomineralization was identified and employed for the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and fluoride (F-). It removed 99.2% of NH4+-N without accumulation of nitrous nitrogen (NO2--N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N), while remove...

This study evaluated in-situ co-transesterification of wet spent coffee ground (SCG)/microalgae mixture for enhanced biodiesel production. SCG and microalgae showed lipid contents of 16.0 and 23.6 wt%, respectively. A total of 27 transesterification runs were performed using wet SCG:algae (1:1, w/w) at different temperatures, times, and solvent rat...

Effect of influent COD/NO3- ratios (2.0-5.0) on partial denitrification (PD, NO3- to NO2-) was investigated by seeding denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) sludge at ambient temperature (16 ± 2℃). At COD/NO3- ratio of 2.5, the optimal NO2- effluent and nitrate-to-nitrite transformation ratio (NTR) reached up to 27.18 mg/L and 82.18%, respectively,...

Conversion of organic wastes to fatty acids rather than methane through anaerobic digestion-based technologies has considerable promise. However, the relationships between microbiome structure and fatty acids produced from cellulosic feedstocks are not well understood. This study investigated the nature of those relationships for anaerobic digester...

The efficient depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin are achieved in cyclohexane solvents over a gamma-alumina supported nickel molybdenum alloy catalyst in a single step. Under initial 3 MPa hydrogen at 320 °C, the highest overall cycloalkane yield of 104.4 mg/g enzymatic hydrolysis lignin with 44.4 wt% selectivity ...

Five ferric-phosphate (Fe(III)Ps) with amorphous or crystalline structures were added to waste activated sludge (WAS) for anaerobic fermentation, aiming to investigate effects of Fe(III)Ps forms on phosphorus (P) release and the performance of WAS fermentation. The results revealed that the Fe(III) reduction rate of hexagonal-FePO4 was faster than ...
