BIOENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY REVIEW ARTICLE Production of fatty acid-derived valuable chemicals in synthetic microbes
"... Fatty acid derivatives, such as hydroxy fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty acid methyl/ethyl esters, and fatty alka(e)nes, have a wide range of industrial applications including plastics, lubricants, and fuels. Currently, these chemicals are obtained mainly through chemical synthesis, which is comp ..."

applied to refactor microorganisms for improved biochemical production. Here, we reviewed: (i) the current status of metabolic engineering of microbes that produce fatty acid-derived valuable chemicals, and (ii) the recent progress of synthetic biology approaches that assist metabolic engineering
URBAN WASTES AS SOURCES OF VALUABLE CHEMICALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: SURFACTANTS, DISPERSING POLYMERS AND POLYELECTROLYTES OF BIOLOGICAL ORIGIN
"... Following previous work indicating urban wastes to be sources of valuable products with remarkable surface activity properties, a new humic acid-like (HAL) substance (cHAL3) was isolated from green residues composted for 7 days. This material was characterized for its chemical composition by element ..."

1 Continuous flow nanocatalysis: reaction pathways in the conversion of levulinic acid to valuable chemicals
"... The selective production of 2-methylterahydrofuran from levulinic acid has been effectively conducted using designed Cu based catalysts and compared with a commercial Pd/C system under microwave irradiation. Optimised conditions for the most active catalysts Cu-MINT (>90 % conversion, 75 % select ..."

Salt Marshes- A Valuable Ecosystem
"... Salt marshes are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. These marshes serve as a buffer against the elements of the shoreline, a natural filtering system, and a safe haven for different organisms. Many studies have proven that various chemical effects and physical efforts affect the sur ..."

of chemicals into water systems. In order to protect these valuable marshes, education, legislative action, and further research needs to take place. A common feature along the shoreline is the salt marsh. These biogenic habitats are developed in soft sediment habitats and include plants and animals

How Valuable the Dog in the Routine Testing of Suspected Carcinogens?
"... SUMMARY-The demand for tests in animals to eliminate carcinogenic substances from man's environment is likely to increase. It is therefore impor-tant to use available resources in personnel, facilities, and money as ad-vantageously as possible. Long-term experiments (usually inconclusive) in do ..."

the carcinogenic activity of chemical compounds al-ready present in, or proposed to be introduced into, the human environment is likely to increase. Even today, after years of patient research and thought, it is impossible to predict, solely from chemical structure, the carcinogenic potentiality of an un-
Olive stone an attractive source of bioactive and valuable compounds
"... Abstract The olive stone and seed are an important byproduct generated in the olive oil extraction and pitted table olive industries. As a lignocellulosic material, the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin are the main components of olive stone as wells as protein, fat, phenols, free sugars and poli ..."

, an overview of the characterization and main uses of olive stone and seed are described for the first time. Also, this review discusses the potential use of this material based on each component. In this way, a new approach to the olive stone and seed by pretreating with a steam explosion followed by chemical
IS STRUVITE A VALUABLE PHOSPHATE SOURCE FOR AGRICULTURE?
"... The UK horticultural and agricultural industries rely on large inputs of phosphate fertilisers to maintain crop yields and quality. However, the use of manufactured phosphate fertilisers is unsustainable. World-wide, over 33 million metric tonnes of manufactured phosphates are consumed annually (Foo ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
sulphur is used as sulphuric acid by the phosphate fertiliser industry (Sauchelli, 1965). Thus, the use of alternatives to chemical P-fertilisers is an immediate priority. The aim of this project was to investigate struvite as an alternative to chemical P fertilisers. Struvite [(NH4)Mg(PO4)·6(H2O)] is a
