Yeast lipids from low-cost renewable feedstock are valuable resources for oleochemicals thus enabling circular chemistry. Current study focuses on lipid and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production through dual-stage fermentation of spentwash in a biorefinery framework with Trichosporon cutaneum (Tc) and Yarrowia lipolytica (Yl). During cell proliferation phase, Tc and Yl accumulated 2.9 and 2.5 g/L of dry biomass respectively in acid-hydrolysed spentwash (AHSW) and produced 16 and 5.5 g/L of total VFA respectively. Lipid yields (29.8%) and lipid titres (0.89 g/L) were higher in Tc/AHSW, when compared to Yl indicating the efficacy of Tc in spentwash bioremediation. Lipid accumulation was enhanced to 35% in Tc/AHSW, in presence of 0.05% NHCl due to oxidative stress of ammonium ions. Analysis of fatty acid composition revealed the presence of higher oleic acid, which is ideal for biodiesel production. The results demonstrate a sustainable biorefinery model for bioremediation of spentwash and its value addition.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of selenium compounds in preventing and treating lifestyle-related diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. The formulation of selenium-enriched supplements for humans and animals, particularly those containing selenium yeast, is highly advantageous. These products are rich in organic selenium derivatives, showing significantly higher bioavailability than inorganic forms of selenium.

The production of alternative proteins is of great significance in the mitigation of food problems. This study proposes an integrated approach including protein extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation to produce both plant proteins and single-cell proteins as alternative proteins from tobacco leaves, a highly-abundant and protein-rich agricultural waste. Alkaline extraction of proteins before polysaccharide hydrolysis was found to be preferable for increasing the yields of plant proteins and mono-sugars.

Article Synopsis
- - Trichosporon spp. are opportunistic pathogens causing superficial and invasive infections, with T. asahii being the most common, but T. cutaneum is notable for causing white Piedra and onychomycosis.
- - This study investigates T. cutaneum's biofilm formation and adhesion on different surfaces (like glass and stainless steel) under varying conditions, finding that nutrient availability significantly affects biofilm efficiency.
- - The research also shows that T. cutaneum can form structures called hyphae, which enhance its biofilm production and tolerance to fluconazole, a common antifungal treatment.

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a major low-value by-product of beer industry. To realize the high value application of BSG, this work proposed a strategy to produce single cell protein (SCP) with oligosaccharide prebiotics from BSG, via ammoniation pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation. The optimum conditions of ammoniation pretreatment obtained by response surface method were 11 % ammonia dosage (w/w), 63 °C for 26 h.

Article Synopsis
- Polygoni Multiflori Radix, a traditional Chinese medicine, faces contamination risks from harmful fungi and mycotoxins during its handling processes, potentially posing health hazards.
- A study conducted using high-throughput sequencing found dominant fungal species, with significant differences in fungal presence across different harvesting areas and processing methods, including notable mycotoxin-producing strains.
- The findings revealed that the microbial diversity and network complexity varied based on geographic location and whether the product was in raw or processed form, emphasizing the need for safety in medicine production for consumer protection.
