Engineering sustainable bioprocesses that convert abundant waste into fuels is pivotal for efficient production of renewable energy. We previously engineered an Escherichia coli strain optimized bioethanol from lactose-rich wastewater like concentrated whey permeate (CWP), a dairy effluent obtained valorization processes. Although attractive fermentation performances were reached, significant improvements are required to eliminate recombinant plasmids, antibiotic resistances and inducible promoters, increase ethanol tolerance. Here, we report new with chromosomally integrated ethanologenic pathway under the control constitutive promoter, without plasmids resistance genes. The showed extreme stability in 1-month subculturing, CWP similar plasmid-bearing strain. then investigated conditions enabling sugar consumption by changing inoculum size concentration, revealing toxicity- nutritional-related bottlenecks. joint tolerance, via adaptive evolution, supplementation small ammonium sulphate amounts (0.05% w/v) enabled boost 6.6% v/v titer, 1.2 g/L/h rate, 82.5% yield, cell viability increased three orders magnitude.

Tremendous quantities of textile waste generated and primarily landfilled annually represent a huge risk contaminating the environment, together with loss valuable resources. Especially, blended fabrics further pose challenge for recycling valorization strategies, while enzymatic hydrolysis offers highly specific environmentally friendly solution. In this study, we demonstrate that proteases specifically hydrolyze wool components in blends polyester, allowing recovery pure polyester fibers as well amino acids peptides platform molecules valorization.

Abstract The surge in Nigeria's population has led to heightened demands for food, clean water, and agricultural products, resulting a significant increase waste generation. Nigeria ranks among the top countries globally terms of production, particularly from agriculture. Unfortunately, management these vast quantities is often inadequate, leading environmental pollution, disease, CO 2 emissions. While reducing such important, completely stopping generation agriculture impossible. Therefore, it becomes imperative adopt eco-friendly cost-effective approaches handling this waste, including collection, conversion, treatment, recycling, reuse. Effectively managing can mitigate pollution its adverse impacts on public health. This review delves into environmental, economic, health challenges associated with Nigeria. It highlights importance implementing sustainable practices reuse, application.
