Two stage biodiesel and hydrogen production from molasses by oleaginous fungi and Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824

In situ hydrogen, acetone, butanol, ethanol and microdiesel production by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 from oleaginous fungal biomass

“…Sugarcane molasses was obtained from Sugar Institute Technology, Assiut University, Assiut and kept in refrigerator until used. Some physical and chemical characteristics of sugarcane molasses were described previously [30]. The initial pH of the culture medium was adjusted to 7.…”

Improvement of fungal lipids esterification process by bacterial lipase for biodiesel synthesis

“…Sugarcane molasses was obtained from Sugar Institute Technology, Assiut University, Assiut and kept in refrigerator until used. Some physical and chemical characteristics of sugarcane molasses were described previously [4]. The initial pH of the culture medium was adjusted to 7.…”

“…A depletion in ancient energy stock reserves, additionally to political, economic, health and environmental issues enhances scientists to go looking for alternative sustainable fuel from available sources are coming in vogue [1][2][3][4][5]. Biodiesel is one of the most potential renewable fuels, environmental friendliness, biodegradable, non-toxic, a low air pollutant emitting fuel than the petroleum diesel and has a similar engine performance [4]. Oleaginous microorganisms have the capability to accumulate significant amounts of storage triacylglycerols, considered to be a viable and attractive substitute for vegetable oils and animal fats for biodiesel production [6,7].…”

Effect of acid-pretreatment on hydrogen fermentation of food waste: Microbial community analysis by next generation sequencing

“…While Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was the main H 2 -producer at pH 2 and 3, Clostridium perfringens became dominant at pH 1. These two species have been observed quite often in dark fermentation of organic wastes using anaerobic mixed cultures [34,35].…”
