Article Abstract
Waste vinegar residue, the by-product of vinegar processing, was used as substrate for phytase production from Aspergillus ficuum NTG-23 in solid-state fermentation to investigate the potential for the efficient re-utilization or recycling of waste vinegar residue. Statistical designs were applied in the processing of phytase production. First, a Plackett-Burman (PB) design was used to evaluate eleven parameters: glucose, starch, wheat bran, (NH(4))(2)SO(4), NH(4)NO(3), tryptone, soybean meal, MgSO(4)·7H(2)O, CaCl(2)·7H(2)O, FeSO(4)·7H(2)O, incubation time. The PB experiments showed that there were three significant factors: glucose, soybean meal and incubation time. The closest values to the optimum point were then derived by steepest ascent path. Finally, a mathematical model was created and validated to explain the behavioural process after these three significant factors were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The best phytase activity was attained using the following conditions: glucose (7.2%), soybean meal (5.1%), and incubation time (271 h). The phytase activity was 7.34-fold higher due to optimization by PB design, steepest ascent path design and RSM. The phytase activity was enhanced 0.26-fold in comparison with the results by the second step of steepest ascent path design. The results indicate that with waste vinegar residue as a substrate higher production of phytase from Aspergillus ficuum NTG-23 could be obtained through an optimization process and that this method might be applied to an integrated system for recycling of the waste vinegar residue.

2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipiridinium chloride (paraquat) are among the most widely used herbicides and are known to be toxic. Fabrication of green adsorbents which are capable of removing both herbicides remains a challenge. Here, we fabricate a novel adsorbent from tropical waste wood and use a facile, chitosan-mediated N-heteroatom functionalization technique to augment surface nitrogen and improve specific surface area.

Acidogenic co-fermentation of waste activated sludge (WAS) and food waste (FW) under thermophilic conditions enhances process consistency, while overcoming the problem of acetic acid consumption due to growing methanogens. Two long-term continuous co-fermentation experiments were carried out with a WAS:FW mixture (70:30 % in VS) at organic loading rate of 8 gVS/(L·d). Experiment 1 assessed the impact of temperature (35 °C and 55 °C) and WAS origin (WAS_A and WAS_B) in two collection periods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the optimal way to create activated carbon from pineapple waste (leaves and peels) through pyrolysis and its combination with sodium alginate to form a bio-complex.
- - Pyrolysis at 800 °C and activation with CO for 30 minutes resulted in high surface areas for the activated carbon, and while its microstructures showed some differences compared to commercial activated carbon, they had promising adsorption capabilities for uremic toxins.
- - The research highlights the potential for developing cost-effective adsorbent products from agricultural waste, aiming to effectively target uremic toxins in simulated gastrointestinal conditions, fitting into a circular economy perspective.

Therapeutic application of bacterial cellulose, a polymer produced by fermentative growth of bacteria, is often challenged by low yields and absence of high yielding strains. The current study reports the synthesis and characterization of bacterial cellulose from a novel microbial consortium of Weissela confusa, Neobacillus drentensis, and Bacillus sp. isolated from mother of vinegar and identified by 16S rDNA typing.

The concept of sustainable production necessitates the utilization of waste and by-products as raw materials, the implementation of biotechnological processes, and the introduction of automated real-time monitoring for efficient use of resources. One example is the biocatalyzed conversion of the reusable by-product glycerin by acetic acid bacteria to dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is of great importance to the cosmetic industry. The application of compact spectrometers enables the rapid measurement of samples while simultaneously reducing the consumption of resources and energy.
