Influence of Electron Acceptors on Hexanoic Acid Production by Clostridium Kluyveri
(Elsevier, 2019-05-07)[Abstract] Clostridium kluyveri was used for chain elongation of C2C4 fatty acids in stirred tank bioreactors. The influence of different electron acceptors (acetic acid, butyric acid and the mixture of both) on C6 fatty ... -
Influence of feedstock mix ratio on microbial dynamics during acidogenic fermentation for polyhydroxyalkanoates production
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)[Abstract] The nature of microbial populations plays an essential role in the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) during acidogenesis, the first stage in polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production using mixed cultures. ... -
Integrated fermentative process for lipid and β-carotene production from acetogenic syngas fermentation using an engineered oleaginous Yarrowia lipolytica yeast
(Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract] An engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strain was successfully employed to produce β-carotene and lipids from acetic acid, a product of syngas fermentation by Clostridium aceticum. The strain showed acetic acid ... -
Kinetics of inhibition in the biodegradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons in presence of heavy metals
(Elsevier Sciencie lted, 2001-06)The toxicity and inhibitory effects of heavy metals such as cadmium, nickel and zinc on alkylbenzene removal were evaluated with a Bacillus strain. The kinetics of alkylbenzene biodegradation with the different heavy metals ... -
Mesophilic and thermophilic biotreatment of BTEX-polluted air in reactors
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-08)This study compares the removal of a mixture of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and all three xylene isomers (BTEX) in mesophilic and thermophilic (50°C) bioreactors. In the mesophilic reactor fungi became dominant after ... -
Methanogenic and perchloroethylene-dechlorinating activity of anaerobic granular sludge
(Springer, 1998-10)The biodegradation and toxicity of tetrachloroethylene (C2Cl4) and trichloroethylene (C2HCl3) were studied with different anaerobic enrichment cultures using the following electron donors: acetate, propionate, butyrate, ... -
Modeling the Number of People Infected With SARS-COV-2 From Wastewater Viral Load in Northwest Spain
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] The quantification of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in wastewater has emerged as a useful tool to monitor COVID–19 outbreaks in the community. This approach was implemented in the metropolitan area of A Coruña (NW ... -
Optimization of methane production from solid tuna waste: Thermal pretreatment and co-digestion
(Elsevier, 2024)[Abstract] Fish canning industries generate large amounts of solid waste during their processing operations, creating a significant environmental challenge. Nonetheless, this waste can be efficiently and sustainably treated ... -
Optimization of nutrient supply in a downflow gas-phase biofilter packed with an inert carrier
(Springer, 2002-01)Several methodologies were tested to supply nutrients to a downflow biofilter packed with perlite and used to treat toluene-polluted air. Despite the presence of an inorganic carrier, elimination capacities of up to around ... -
Optimization of the landfill leachate treatment by the Fenton process
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-03)The Fenton process was used with the objective of improving the biodegradability of the leachate pretreated biologically up to a value compatible with a subsequent biological treatment. The optimum reaction and settlement ... -
