In this study, aiming to improve the economic feasibility of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, generate valuable products and extend the product chain, esterification catalyzed by Candida sp. 99-125 cells was hybrid with the ABE fermentation-gas-stripping integration system. The gas-stripping condensate that contained concentrated ABE products was directly used for esterification without the participation of toxic organic solvents. Full-cell catalysis temperature and the cell dosage rate on oleate production were evaluated and optimized in the esterification process. Under the optimized conditions (35 °C, 8% of cells), ~ 68% of butyl oleate and ~ 12% of ethyl oleate were obtained after 4 h of esterification. The Candida sp. 99-125 cells were able to be reused for at least four cycles. The novel cascade process showed environmental benefits, which also showed promising in improving the economic feasibility of the conventional ABE fermentation process.

To enhance the performance and reduce the amount of ester-based lubricants used in weak gel drilling fluids, a shear dynamics simulation under extreme pressure conditions was employed to refine the formulation of the base oil and pressure additives. The simulation results were validated using fatty acid methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters. Fatty acid methyl ester demonstrated the lowest temperature increase and the highest load-bearing capacity post-shear.

Following regulations on legacy plasticizers, a large variety of industrial chemicals have been employed as substitutes to manufacture consumer products. However, knowledge remains limited on their environmental distributions, fate, and human exposure risks. In the present work, we screened for a total of 34 emerging plasticizers in house dust from South China and matched hand wipes collected from volunteers ( = 49 pairs).

Mycoses are a global problem that affects humans and animals. In the present study, the entomopathogenic soil fungus Conidiobolus coronatus (Entomophthorales), infecting in tropics also humans, sheep and horses, was cultivated with the addition of insect cuticular compounds (CCs) previously detected in the cuticle of C. coronatus-resistant fly species (C10-C30 fatty alcohols, butyl oleate, butyl stearate, glycerol oleate, squalene, tocopherol acetate).

A quaternary ammonium and titanium codoped phosphotungstate (QATiHPW) catalyst was prepared by the ion exchange method and used as a solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of -butyl oleate. The catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared, elemental analyzer, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, scanning electron microscopy, and Hammett indicator methods. QATiHPW showed a higher catalytic activity than other phosphotungstate solid acid catalysts reported by literature, and the esterification rate reached 99% under optimized conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Isolated and identified halophilic bacteria from saline soil near Lake Texcoco, including genera such as Bacillus and Nesterenkonia, capable of producing various exoenzymes.
- Lipase/esterases from Nesterenkonia sp. and N. aethiopica exhibited characteristics suited for synthesizing n-butyl oleate, achieving significant conversion rates (62.7% and 53.2%) in organic media.
- Proteases from these bacteria were effective in hydrolyzing common carp muscle protein, yielding peptides with antioxidant properties, indicating potential applications in food technology and bioenergy.
