Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues is a promising feedstock for lactic acid (LA) production. The aim of the current study was to investigate the production of LA from different lignocellulosic biomass. The LA production from banana peduncles using strain with yeast extract resulted in 26.6 g LA·L, and yield of 0.90 g LA·g sugars. The sugarcane fermentation with yeast extract resulted in 46.5 g LA·L, and yield of 0.88 g LA·g sugars. Carob showed that addition of yeast extract resulted in higher productivity of 3.2 g LA·L·h compared to without yeast extract where1.95 g LA·L·h was obtained. Interestingly, similar LA production was obtained by the end where 54.8 and 51.4 g·L were obtained with and without yeast extract, respectively. A pilot scale of 35 L using carob biomass fermentation without yeast extract resulted in yield of 0.84 g LA·g sugars, and productivity of 2.30 g LA·L·h which indicate a very promising process for future industrial production of LA.

This study investigates that the phenolic compound extracted from the potato peels using ethanol by maceration as a natural preservation agent for cow butter, yielding 10.42 ± 0.03 % phenolic compound.
This study explored the impact of sodium acetate (Na-acetate) impact on lipid, carotenoid, and β-carotene production by the newly isolated strain . Batch and fed-batch bioreactor cultures were employed to optimize growth conditions and product yields. fed with Na-acetate in the yeast medium was evaluated in the batch bioreactor culture.
In the present investigation, 13% ± 0.84 of the extracted and purified phycocyanin from Phormidium versicolor was obtained, with a purity of 0.69 following dialysis.

Candida albicans has the potential to turn pathogenic and cause mild to severe infections, particularly in people with weakened immune systems. Novel therapeutics are required due to its morphological alterations, biofilm development, and resistance to antifungal drugs. Polycephalomyces nipponicus, a traditional East Asian medicinal fungus, has shown potential as an antifungal agent.
Thiamine dilauryl sulphate (TDS) exerts a bacteriostatic effect against Gram-positive bacteria and is used as a food additive. The heartwood extract of the Indian kino tree (Pterocarpus marsupium), a medicinal tree native to India, shows weak antimicrobial effects against bacteria and superficial dermatophyte-infective fungi. Herein, we report that the combination of TDS and P.
