••
TL;DR: In this article, chitosan was used as a flocculant to harvest freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and the recovery efficiency of C. vulgaris was tested at various chitosa concentrations.
126 citations
••
TL;DR: The results indicate that the leachate itself can enable electricity production in an MFC, but the co-addition of different inocula significantly reduces the start-up time, and the superior performance of the anaerobic sludge-MFC was associated with the enrichment of both fermentative and electrogenic bacteria at the anode.
115 citations

109 citations
••
TL;DR: The developments that have been made in molecular biology, directed evolution and structural conformation studies of α-amylases for improving their properties to suit various industrial applications are discussed in this review.
••
TL;DR: Fermented black soybean milk enriched with GABA is a good candidate as an alternative treatment of depression and tests its anti-depressant activity in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.
••
TL;DR: A pilot-scale down-flow BAC filtration system was constructed for treatment of ozonated waters and indicated the system could effectively remove dissolved organic carbon and assimilable organic carbon.
••
TL;DR: Results show that Alaska pollock skin could be utilized to generate iron-chelating peptides as an iron supplement in functional food industry.
••
TL;DR: Results indicated that the anticancer activity of F2 could be related to its sulfate content, however, the antioxidant activities of F1–F3 were low at their tested concentrations.
••
TL;DR: Phylogenetic spectrum and Venn diagrams revealed that the bacterial phyla in the two samples were nearly identical, and that the predominant microorganisms of them exhibited a high homology, Nevertheless, population distribution was different between them.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a new lipase from Novozymes (Callera Trans L) was studied for fatty acid methylesters (FAMEs) production in order to reduce the costs of the industrial enzymatic biodiesel production process.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the efficient extraction of fucoxanthin and lipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from the brown seaweed Undaria pinnatifida was developed and demonstrated at a laboratory scale.
••
TL;DR: In this article, an initial fractionation of polysaccharides, proteins and their complexes with different molecular sizes and for further identification of the bioactive components was performed by gradient precipitation with ethanol at 1 5, 2/5, 1, 2, and 5 volume ratios to the liquid medium.
••
TL;DR: Functional complementation analysis revealed C reinhardtii PDS catalyzes the conversion of phytoene to the colored carotenoid zeta-carotene, demonstrating clearly that the engineered endogenous CrPDS is a dominant selectable marker for C. reinhardtII and possibly for other green algae.
••
TL;DR: Improved operational, thermal and storage stabilities of the immobilized laccase were obtained compared to the free counterpart and the use of low-cost matrices, like Amberlite for enzyme immobilization represents a promising product for enzymatic industrial applications.
••
TL;DR: Simulated enzymatic hydrolysis of RuBisCO subunits indicated that thermolysin and papain had preferred cleavage patterns for releasing the cryptic peptides compared to gastrointestinal proteases, thereby providing cheaper and sustainable precursors of bioactive peptides.
••
TL;DR: Interestingly, immobilized lipase showed fivefold higher catalytic activity and better thermal stability than the crude extract lipase CCL, and the biocatalyst was efficiently recycled for four successive reuses.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the sensitivity of common carp myofibrillar protein (MP) to oxidising radicals produced by a hydroxyl radical-generating system and found that with increasing H2O2 concentrations and oxidation time, protein carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity and turbidity of MP increased.
••
TL;DR: Inhibition of the synthesis pathway with diphenylamine suggests an inverse relationship between carotenoid and copper biosorption by R. mucilaginosa RCL-11, a pigmented yeast isolated from a filter plant of a copper mine in the province of Tucuman, Argentina, which supports high concentrations of the heavy metal Cu(II).
••
TL;DR: In this article, a batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of steam-pretreated spruce with 13.7% water-insoluble solids (WIS) (25% total solids) was run in a stirred-tank reactor as well as in two reactors designed to handle solid or semi-solid material.
••
TL;DR: Differences of bacterial com- munities in the three BAC filters were characterized using 454 pyrosequencing analysis, and high bacterial diversity in granular activated carbon samples from each BAC biofilter was observed.
