“…Holistic environmental sustainability is the main driving force in the establishment of biorefineries. Biorefineries aim at integrating upstream and downstream processes for maximum utilization of a plethora of biomass substrates (Chowdhary et al 2018), by supplying a wide range of the bio-based energy and bioproducts in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner.…”

Biorefinery employing fungi can be a strategy for valorizing low-cost rest materials, by-products and wastes into several valuable bioproducts through the fungal fermentation. Mucoromycota fungi are soil fungi with a highly versatile metabolic system that positions them as powerful microbial cell factories for biorefinery applications. Lipids, pigments, chitin/chitosan, polyphosphates, ethanol, organic acids and enzymes are main Mucoromycota products that can be refined from the fermentation process and applied in nutrition, chemical or biofuel industries. In addition, Mucoromycota biomass can be used as it is for specific purposes, such as feed. Mucoromycota fungi can be employed in developing co-production processes, whereby several intra-and extracellular products are simultaneously formed in a single fermentation process, and, thus, economic viability of the process can be improved. This mini review provides a comprehensive overview over the recent advances in the production of valuable metabolites by Mucoromycota fungi and fermentation strategies which could be potentially applied in the industrial biorefinery settings. Key points• Biorefineries utilizing Mucoromycota fungi as production cell factories can provide a wide range of bioproducts.• Mucoromycota fungi are able to perform co-production of various metabolites in a single fermentation process.• Versatile metabolism of Mucoromycota allows valorization of a various low-cost substrates such as wastes and rest materials.

No setor da Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) cujo objetivo é estabilizar o paciente criticamente enfermo são realizados procedimentos invasivos que causam quebra de barreiras de proteção natural os quais associados ao perfil epidemiológico bem como o início empírico de antibióticos, favorece o desenvolvimento de bactérias multirresistentes, caracterizando assim, quadros graves com elevada morbidade e mortalidade. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar o perfil microbiológico das culturas isoladas a partir de espécimes clínicos de pacientes internados na UTI adulta de um hospital público da Baixada maranhense, através da coleta dos resultados obtidos de exames de culturas microbianas. Trata- se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, retrospectivo, com dados laboratoriais do ano de 2018. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados em planilhas Excel®, analisados e descritos em frequências absolutas e percentuais para as variáveis categóricas e estatística descritiva da variável numérica. Dos resultados de 183 culturas, de bactérias e fungos, observou-se que 123 eram de pacientes do sexo masculino e 60 do feminino. A média de idade foi 56,69 anos (±21.89). A presença de microrganismos foi detectada em 139 hemoculturas, 29 culturas de secreção traqueal e 15 uroculturas. Quanto ao perfil aos antimicrobianos verificou-se que 30% dos microrganismos apresentaram sensibilidade à vancomicina, linezolida, gentamicina, teicoplamina, ciprofloxacina, meropenen e amicacina. Com relação aos perfis de resistência verificou-se maior resistência contra penicilina e ciprofloxacina. Estes achados reforçam a necessidade de esquemas antimicrobianos mais rígidos visando um maior controle do surgimento de bactérias multirresistentes.

“…Later in 2016, India became the second country in Asia to produce 2G bioethanol on a commercial scale. Located in Bathinda, Punjab, a 32 MLPY cellulosic bioethanol plant was established by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and the Institute of Chemical Technology using agricultural as a feedstock [50].…”

Co-production is a process based on the biorefinery concept that maximizes the benefit of biomass by reusing residue from the production of one product to produce others. In this regard, biogas is one of the most researched second products for the production of ethanol from cellulosic biomass. However, operating this scheme requires additional investment in biogas processing equipment. This review compiles data from research studies on the co-production of bioethanol and biogas from lignocellulosic biomass to determine which is more worthwhile: leaving the residue or investing more to benefit from the second product. According to previous research, ethanol stillage can be converted to biogas via anaerobic digestion, increasing energy output by 2–3 fold. Techno-economic studies demonstrated that the co-production process reduces the minimum ethanol selling price to a level close to the market price of ethanol, implying the possibility of industrializing cellulosic ethanol production through this scheme.
