The biosorption characteristics of Ni2+ by the waste biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisia were investigated, including the biosorption kinetics as well as equilibrium isotherm study. The experimental results showed that when the initial Ni2+ concentration was 65.6 mg/L, the process of Ni2+ biosorption onto the biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisia could be divided into two stages, the first stage was physical sorption and reached equilibrium very quickly (within 10 minutes). The biosorption kinetics could be described by the pseudo second-order equation quite well (R2 = 0.999), and the kinetic parameters k2 and qe were 0.0184 g/(mg x min) and 5.96 mg/g, respectively. The equilibrium isotherm could be fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, with the maximum biosorption capacity of 6.32 mg/g. The removal of Ni2+ from wastewater by biosorption is feasible.

Nitrogen limitations in the grape must be the main cause of stuck fermentations during the winemaking process. In , a genetic segment known as region A, which harbors 12 protein-coding genes, was acquired horizontally from a phylogenetically distant yeast species. This region is mainly present in the genome of wine yeast strains, carrying genes that have been associated with nitrogen utilization.

Components of yeast cell walls, such as β-glucans and mannoproteins, show promise for developing sustainable biopolymers for food packaging. Efficient extraction, however, is challenging due to the complexity of the yeast cell wall. This study explored high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) and pulsed electric fields (PEFs), alone and with heat treatment (TT), on bakery yeast (BY) and brewery spent yeast (BSY) biomasses.

Food waste (FW) is a common source of contamination, contaminating both soils and water bodies by releasing greenhouse gases. FW holds great potential for biofuel and bioproduct production, which can mitigate its environmental impact and become a valuable addition to the circular bioeconomy. Therefore, this work aimed to investigate the use of food waste as a substrate to produce fermentable sugars and bioethanol.

Often, the value of the whole biomass from fermentation processes is not exploited, as commercial interests are focused on the main product that is typically either accumulated within cells or secreted into the medium. One underutilized fraction of yeast cells is the cell wall that contains valuable polysaccharides, such as chitin, known for its biocompatibility and biodegradability, which are thought of as valuable properties in diverse industries. Therefore, the valorization of waste biomass from fermentation to coproduce chitin could significantly improve the overall profitability and sustainability of biomanufacturing processes.
