Article Synopsis
  • * The study found that red algae had the highest ethanol yield, followed by brown and green algae, due to their carbohydrate content.
  • * The leftover biomass showed significant antioxidant activity, suggesting that these by-products can be used to create sustainable and valuable products in biorefineries.

Article Synopsis
  • * The team optimized conditions for extracting peptone from cutlassfish head muscle, achieving a nitrogen content indicative of effective breakdown and confirming its ability to support microbial growth comparable to and even better than commercial alternatives.
  • * Test results showed that peptone from cutlassfish heads led to significantly higher expression levels of specific proteins in E. coli, highlighting its potential for biotechnological applications while promoting sustainable waste management in the fish processing sector.

and are types of brown algae used for their nutritional value and medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Despite their importance in various industries, many seaweed byproducts containing dietary fiber and polysaccharides are discarded in landfills. These byproducts can be recycled and repurposed for different applications.

Microalgae have gained attention as a promising source of chlorophylls and carotenoids in various industries. However, scaling up of conventional bubble columns presents challenges related to cell sedimentation and the presence of non-photosynthetic cells due to non-circulating zones and decreased light accessibility, respectively. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the newly developed continuously circulated bioreactor ROSEMAX at both laboratory and pilot scales, compared to a conventional bubble column.
