Evaluation of Bioethanol Production from Ulva lactuca By Saccharomyces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the optimization process by Plackett-Burman experimental design followed by immobilization technique on supported solid materials for the bioethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Book ChapterDOI
Marine Bioenergy Production
TL;DR: In a contemporary environment where people are obliged to use solar energy in addition to chemical fuel and nuclear energy, the word "biomass" has been used in applied science fields beyond its original ecological sense.
Characterization and utilization of polysaccharide lyases from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia K279a as platforms for the design of mutant lyases with specialized substrate specificity for therapeutic and industrial applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use histidine as the proton acceptor and tyrosine as the donor in the alginate lyase Atu3025 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (55), as well as the HA lyases of Streptococcus sp.

Biofuels From Macroalgae
TL;DR: In this article , the potentialities of macroalgae as a biofuel resource have not been investigated thoroughly, and the authors try to outline all the aspects of biofuel production from macro-algae pointing out the scopes for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption of pollutants from chemically derived wastewater using Microcoleus sp.
TL;DR: In this article , the design of such a treatment method may be defined as an optimisation problem of algal dose and hydraulic retention time for attaining an adequate removal efficiency of heavy metals (Cr6+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) and nutrients (PO43- and NO3-).

Inhibition of anaerobic digestion process: A review
TL;DR: This review provides a detailed summary of the research conducted on the inhibition of anaerobic processes and indicates that co-digestion with other waste, adaptation of microorganisms to inhibitory substances, and incorporation of methods to remove or counteract toxicants before an aerobic digestion can significantly improve the waste treatment efficiency.
