Towards biobased ethyl acetate and beyond : Identification and application of the elusive Eat1 enzyme
Ester production by microorganisms is of great importance to biotechnological processes. These volatile compounds impart pleasant, fruity aromas to beer, wine, and other fermented products. Yeast in particular are well known for their ability to produce volatile esters. The genetic and enzymatic intricacies of ester production have been the focus o...
Developing a role for Rhizopus oryzae in the biobased economy by aiming at ethanol and cyanophycin coproduction
Fossil fuels, including oil, natural gas, and coal are primary energy sources and account for 86% of the world’s energy consumption. These fossil fuels are also used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals and materials. It took millions of years to form these fuels from biomass and their consumption is therefore considered non-renewable. At...

Leaf phenolics and seaweed tannins : analysis, enzymatic oxidation and non-covalent protein binding
Upon extraction of proteins from sugar beet leaves (Beta vulgaris L.) and oarweed (Laminaria digitata) for animal food and feed purposes, endogenous phenolics and proteins can interact with each other, which might affect the protein’s applicability. Sugar beet leaf proteins might become covalently modified by phenolics through polyphenol oxidase (P...
Predicting methane emission of dairy cows using milk composition
Enteric methane (CH4) is produced as a result of microbial fermentation of feed components in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminant livestock. Methane has no nutritional value for the animal and is predominately released into the environment through eructation and breath. Therefore, CH4 not only represents a greenhouse gas contributing to global w...
Optimal use of biogas from waste streams : an assessment of the potential of biogas from digestion in the EU beyond 2020...
...
As the European Commission is working on the further development and concretisation of the post-2020 climate and energy policies, this study was commissioned to zoom in on the potential role, cost and benefits of biogas, and to assess the key barriers and drivers of biogas deployment in the EU. An important question to address was what policies at ...
Lactic acid fermentation of human excreta for agricultural application
Human excreta is a valuable fertilizer for improving soil quality and crop productivity, with a potential to replace or complement the mineral fertilizers. The main challenges related to human excreta regarding agricultural applications are microbial contamination risks, loss of nutrients, and odor issues. Fertilization by lacto-fermented faeces su...
