Increases of bioethanol productivity by S. cerevisiae in unconventional bioreactor under ELF-magnetic field: New advances in the biophysical mechanism elucidation on yeasts

Experimental Prototype of Electromagnetic Emissions for Biotechnological Research: Monitoring Cocoa Bean Fermentation Parameters

“…Numerous studies have shown that non-uniform magnetic fields can introduce variations in the response of biological systems, affecting the results of controlled biotechnological experiments [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. By addressing non-uniformity through polygonal coil designs and dimension adjustments, the understanding and applicability of electromagnetic technologies in various biotechnology studies can be advanced [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

“…Recent research indicates that electromagnetic fields can stimulate or inhibit different biological systems [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], such as the growth of plants [ 13 ], fruits [ 14 ], and microorganisms [ 15 ]. Similarly, they affect cells in the human [ 16 ] and animal [ 17 ] body by stimulating or inhibiting different cellular processes [ 18 ].…”

“…Similarly, they affect cells in the human [ 16 ] and animal [ 17 ] body by stimulating or inhibiting different cellular processes [ 18 ]. Several of these cellular properties have been used to improve health [ 4 ], obtain metabolites of industrial interest [ 5 ], and remove contaminants from soil [ 6 ], water [ 7 ], and air [ 8 ]. In this sense, electromagnetic fields offer a sustainable and non-invasive solution with different practical applications such as medical therapy [ 9 ], production processes [ 10 ], and environmental protection [ 11 ], maintaining natural integrity [ 3 ].…”

“…Recently, researchers have begun to investigate the potential impact of EMFs on fermentative processes. Although the role and influence of the magnetic field in this process are undeniable, there are many aspects to consider about its effects [ 12 ], which still need to be sufficiently understood [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

Biodiesel Production from Macroalgae Oil from Fucus vesiculosus Using Magnetic Catalyst in Unconventional Reactor Assisted by Magnetic Field

“…In addition, this macroalgae oil may be an alternative to edible oils, seeking to mitigate the energy vs. food conflicts besides biorefinery applications. In recent years, our research group has been studying biofuel production by unconventional process, among which, reactors/bioreactors assisted by magnetic field stand out [41][42][43][44][45].…”
