An overview of lignin metabolism and its effect on biomass recalcitrance Rev. Bras. Bot.
Cesarino,Igor; Araújo,Pedro; Domingues Júnior,Adilson Pereira; Mazzafera,Paulo.
Lignin, after cellulose, is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth, accounting for 30% of the organic carbon in the biosphere. It is considered an important evolutionary adaptation of plants during their transition from the aquatic environment to land, since it bestowed the early tracheophytes with physical support to stand upright and enabled long-distance transport of water and solutes by waterproofing the vascular tissue. Although essential for plant growth and development, lignin is the major plant cell wall component responsible for biomass recalcitrance to industrial processing. The fact that lignin is a non-linear aromatic polymer built with chemically diverse and poorly reactive linkages and a variety of monomer units precludes the ability of...

Bioconversion of cassava starch by-product into Bacillus and related bacteria polyhydroxyalkanoates Electron. J. Biotechnol.
Krueger,Cristhiane L; Radetski,Claudemir M; Bendia,Amanda G; Oliveira,Ida M; Castro-Silva,Marcus A; Rambo,Carlos R; Antonio,Regina V; Lima,André O.S..
Background: Unlike petroleum-based synthetic plastics, biodegradable biopolymer generation from industrial residue is a key strategy to reduce costs in the production process, as well as in the waste management, since efficient industrial wastewater treatment could be costly. In this context, the present work describes the prospection and use of bacterial strains capable to bioconvert cassava starch by-product into biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Results: The first step of this study was the bacterial competence screening which was conducted with 72 strains covering 21 Bacillus and related species. The microorganism growth in a medium with a starch substrate was measured by an innovative MTT assay, while the ability of the bacteria to secrete...

Bioconversion of mixed free fatty acids to poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates by Pseudomonas putida BET001 and modeling of its fermentation in shake flasks Electron. J. Biotechnol.
Makhdum Munawar,Khalil Munawar; Simarani,Khanom; Annuar,Mohamad Suffian Mohamad.
Background: The paper reports on the utilization of palm kernel oil (PKO) as a low cost renewable substrate for medium-chain-length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) production by Pseudomonas putida BET001. Investigation on the effects of selected key variables on growth, mixed free fatty acids consumption and mcl-PHA production by the bacterial culture in the shaken flask system were carried out along with its kinetic modeling. Results: The biomass production, fatty acids consumption and mcl-PHA production were found favorable when the strain was cultured in mineral medium at pH 6-7,28°C, aeration surface-to-volume ratio of 0.4 x 10(6) m-1, 250 rpm agitation rate for 48 h. Mcl-PHA production by this strain showed mixed growth and non-growth associated...

Biodegradable films of starch/PVOH/alginate in packaging systems for minimally processed lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) Ciência e Agrotecnologia
Brandelero,Renata Paula Herrera; Brandelero,Evandro Martin; Almeida,Fábio Mendonça de.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable packaging may replace non-biodegradable materials when the shelf life of the packaged product is relatively short, as in minimally processed foods. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of biodegradable films comprising starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH)/alginate with the addition of 0 or 0.5% of essential oil of copaiba (EOCP) or lemongrass (EOLM) compared to poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) films in the storage of minimally processed lettuce. Lettuce samples cut into 1-cm strips were placed in polypropylene trays wrapped with biodegradable films and stored at 6 ± 2 °C for 8 days. PVC films were used as controls. The biofilms presented 11.43-8.11 MPa resistance and 11.3-13.22% elongation, with water vapor permeability...

Biodegradation of a blended starch/natural rubber foam biopolymer and rubber gloves by Streptomyces coelicolor CH13 Electron. J. Biotechnol.
Watcharakul,Sirimaporn; Umsakul,Kamontam; Hodgson,Brian; Chumeka,Wannapa; Tanrattanakul,Varaporn.
Background: The growing problem of environmental pollution caused by synthetic plastics has led to the search for alternative materials such as biodegradable plastics. Of the biopolymers presently under development, starch/natural rubber is one promising alternative. Several species of bacteria and fungi are capable of degrading natural rubber and many can degrade starch. Results: Streptomyces coelicolor CH13 was isolated from soil according to its ability to produce translucent halos on a mineral salts medium, MSM, supplemented with natural rubber and to degrade starch. Scanning electron microscope studies showed that it colonized the surfaces of strips of a new starch/natural rubber biopolymer and rubber gloves and caused degradation by forming holes,...

Industrial wastewater as raw material for exopolysaccharide production by Rhizobium leguminosarum BJM
Sellami,Mohamed; Oszako,Tomasz; Miled,Nabil; Ben Rebah,Faouzi.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by Rhizobium leguminosarum cultivated in wastewater generated by oil companies (WWOC1 and WWOC2) and fish processing industry (WWFP). The results obtained in Erlenmeyer flasks indicated that the rhizobial strain grew well in industrial wastewater. Generally, wastewater composition affected the growth and the EPS production. WWFP allowed good bacterial growth similar to that obtained with the standard medium (YMB). During growth, various quantities of EPS were produced and yields varied depending on the media. Growing in YMB, EPS production did not exceed 9.7 g/L obtained after 72 h of growth. In wastewater, the maximum EPS value reached 11.1 g/L obtained with the fish...

Interfacial bonding of Flax fibre/Poly(L-lactide) bio-composites ArchiMer
Le Duigou, Antoine; Davies, Peter; Baley, Christophe.
The use of glass fibre reinforced polyester composites raises many health and safety and environmental questions. One alternative is the development of high performance bio-based bio-composites with low environmental impact. Improved understanding of interfacial properties is essential to optimise the mechanical properties and durability of these materials, but so far few data are available. The present work describes the interfacial characterization of Flax fibre/Poly(lactic) acid (PLLA) system at the micro-scale using the microbond test. Different thermal treatments have been carried out (cooling rate and annealing) in order to evaluate the influence of matrix and interfacial morphologies as well as residual stress on interfacial properties....

Mixed Cultures Fermentation for the Production of Poly-ß-hydroxybutyrate BABT
Shalin,Thomas; Sindhu,Raveendran; Binod,Parameswaran; Soccol,Carlos Ricardo; Pandey,Ashok.
Poly-ß-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable intracellular microbial product produced by many bacteria and it is comparable to some of the petrochemical derived thermoplastics such as polypropylene. One of the main barriers for the commercial exploitation is the high cost of the substrate for the production of biopolymer. The utilization of mixed microbial cultures facilitates the use of complex substrates thereby reducing the cost of PHB production. In the present study, mixed culture systems were evaluated for PHB production. Bacillus firmus NII 0830 was used for the production of PHB since it accumulates a large amount of PHB and a second organism Lactobacillus delbrueckii NII 0925 was used to provide lactic acid. FTIR and 1H NMR analyses revealed...

Quality and microbiological protection of table eggs by ultrasonic application of acidic electrolyzed water and chitosan Acta Agron. (Palmira)
Cabanillas-Beltrán,Héctor; González-Estrada,Ramsés R; Gutiérrez-Martínez,Porfirio; Hernández-López,Silvia María.
Abstract Ultrasonic nebulization was used as a novel method of chitosan (CH) and acidic electrolyzed water (AEW) application on table eggs; effects on preservation, quality and antimicrobial properties were investigated. The effect of the application of CH and AEW alone or in combination on eggs quality was evaluated in terms of weight loss, shell thickness, yolk colour, Haugh units and shell strength. Additionally, the application of CH and AEW as antimicrobial agent was investigated in order to evaluate their efficacy against Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). A negative effect was observed by the sole application of AEW on eggshell thickness and strength. Conversely, the combination of AEW and CH improve eggshell strength, as well...

Reduction of potential ennoblement of stainless steel in natural seawater by an ecofriendly biopolymer ArchiMer
Abi Nassif, L.; Rioual, S.; Farah, W.; Hellio, C.; Fauchon, M.; Trepos, R; Abboud, M.; Diler, E.; Thierry, D.; Lescop, B..
The effect of biofilm formation on passive stainless steel in seawater environments is of primary importance since it leads to potential ennoblement of surfaces and subsequently to localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice corrosion. This study aims at developing an ecofriendly alginate biopolymer containing both non-toxic calcium and a limited amount of biocidal zinc ions which inhibits this effect. For this purpose, calcium alginate containing less than 1 % of zinc ions localized in the vicinity of the steel surface in natural and renewed seawater is demonstrated to reduce significantly the ennoblement process of steel. After 1 month of immersion, a mass loss of only 4 % of the active material is observed authorizing thereby long-term protection of...

Seawater ageing of flax/poly(lactic acid) biocomposites ArchiMer
Le Duigou, A.; Davies, Peter; Baley, C..
Natural fibre reinforced biopolymer composites, or biocomposites, are an alternative to the glass fibre reinforced thermoset composites widely used today in marine applications. Biocomposites offer good mechanical properties and total biodegradability, but if they are to be adopted for marine structures their durability in a seawater environment must be demonstrated. In the present study unreinforced PLLA (Poly(L-Lactic acid)), injected and film stacked flax composites with the same PLLA matrix have been examined. All the samples were aged in natural seawater at different temperatures in order to accelerate hygrothermal ageing. Changes to physico-chemical and mechanical behaviour have been followed by weight measurements, thermal and gel permeation...

Semi-scale production of PHAs from waste frying oil by Pseudomonas fluorescens S48 BJM
Gamal,Rawia F.; Abdelhady,Hemmat M.; Khodair,Taha A.; El-Tayeb,Tarek S.; Hassan,Enas A.; Aboutaleb,Khadiga A..
The present study aimed at developing a strategy to improve the volumetric production of PHAs by Pseudomonas fluorescens S48 using waste frying oil (WFO) as the sole carbon source. For this purpose, several cultivations were set up to steadily improve nutrients supply to attain high cell density and high biopolymer productivity. The production of PHAs was examined in a 14 L bioreactor as one-stage batch, two-stage batch, and high-cell-density fed-batch cultures. The highest value of polymer content in one-stage bioreactor was obtained after 60 h (33.7%). Whereas, the two-stage batch culture increased the polymer content to 50.1% after 54 h. High-cell-density (0.64 g/L) at continuous feeding rate 0.55 mL/l/h of WFO recorded the highest polymer content after...

Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of chemically modified chitosan by succinic anhydride BABT
Mello,Karine Gargioni Pereira Correa de; Bernusso,Leandra de Cássia; Pitombo,Ronaldo Nogueira de Moraes; Polakiewicz,Bronislaw.
The N-succinil-chitosan is a chemically modified derivative of the biopolymer chitosan. The succinic anhydride attached to the free amino groups presented along the chitosan's polymer chain imparts to the molecule different physicochemical properties not exhibited before the modification. These chemical modifications enhance chitosan's solubility in slightly acid, neutral and alkaline media. These properties are related to the long alkyl chains attached to hydrophilic parts. In this case the hydrophilic part of D-glucosamine promotes stronger interactions with the water molecules, and consequently, enhances the solubility of the chitosan polymer. Non-modified free chitosan is soluble only in acidic medium (pH < 5.5). These modifications made possible...

Xanthan gum production by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. mangiferaeindicae from glycerin of biodiesel in different media and addition of glucose Biological Sciences
Gondim, Tayssa Santos; Pereira, Roberto Guimarães; Fiaux, Sorele Batista.
Biodiesel production has been increasing yearly in Brazil. A large amount of glycerin is generated in this process and needs a correct destination. One possible use of this glycerin in crude form is in biotechnological processes. Xanthan gum is a commercial gum used primarily in the pharmaceutical and food industries as thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer. It is synthetized by species of the bacterium Xanthomonas generally from glucose. However, current research shows that species of this bacterium have the capacity to grow and synthesize the gum using glycerin from biodiesel. The aim of this study was to produce xanthan gum using glycerin from biodiesel production in medium with different nitrogen content, named complex and simple media. The kinetics of...
