Journal ArticleDOI
Design and techno-economic evaluation of microbial oil production as a renewable resource for biodiesel and oleochemical production
Apostolis A. Koutinas,Afroditi Chatzifragkou,Nikolaos Kopsahelis,Seraphim Papanikolaou,Ioannis K. Kookos +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed experimental results from the open literature for the design and techno-economic evaluation of four process flowsheets for the production of microbial oil or biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion mechanisms mediated by probiotics and prebiotics and their potential impact on human health.
Andrea Monteagudo-Mera,Robert A. Rastall,Glenn R. Gibson,Dimitris Charalampopoulos,Afroditi Chatzifragkou +4 more
TL;DR: This mini review is to provide a comprehensive overview on the potential effect of the adhesive properties of probiotics and prebiotics on the host by focusing on the most recent findings related with adhesion and immunomodulatory and antipathogenic effect on human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnological conversions of biodiesel derived waste glycerol by yeast and fungal species
Afroditi Chatzifragkou,Anna Makri,Aikaterini Belka,Stamatina Bellou,Marilena Mavrou,Maria Mastoridou,Paraskevi Mystrioti,Grace Onjaro,George Aggelis,Seraphim Papanikolaou +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, 15 eukaryotic microorganisms were tested for their ability to assimilate biodiesel derived waste glycerol and convert it into value-added metabolic products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of 1,3-propanediol by Clostridium butyricum growing on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol through a non-sterilized fermentation process
Afroditi Chatzifragkou,Seraphim Papanikolaou,David Dietz,Agapi I. Doulgeraki,George-John E. Nychas,An-Ping Zeng +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the production of 1,3-propanediol (PDO) under non-sterile fermentation conditions by employing the strain Clostridium butyricum VPI 1718 revealed the stability of the bioprocess proposed, with global PDO production yield corresponding to 0.52 g/g.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of lipids and organic acids by Yarrowia lipolytica strains cultivated on glucose
Seraphim Papanikolaou,Afroditi Chatzifragkou,Stylianos Fakas,Stylianos Fakas,Maria Galiotou-Panayotou,Michael Komaitis,Jean-Marc Nicaud,George Aggelis +7 more
TL;DR: In several of the strains cultured in media containing a low glucose concentration, unicellular morphology was observed, while at high glucose concentrations mycelia were predominant, indicating lipid degradation even for the genetically modified strains.
