Mechanical and Thermal Characteristics of Films from Glycerol Mixed Emulsified Carnauba Wax/Polyvinyl Alcohol.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based films have drawn significant attention owing to their potential applications in various industries. The application of wax to PVA films enhanced their resistance to dissolution and water infiltration. Nevertheless, waxed PVA films often exhibit inadequate mechanical properties owing to crack formation.

Microbial Protein and Metabolite Profiles of in a Bubble Column Bioreactor.

The production of microbial proteins (MPs) has emerged as a critical focus in biotechnology, driven by the need for sustainable and scalable alternatives to traditional protein sources. This study investigates the efficacy of two experimental setups in producing MPs using the nitrogen-fixing bacterium . , known for its facultative anaerobic growth and capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, offers a promising avenue for environmentally friendly protein production.
