Performance evaluation of microbial inocula as biological reference material for biodegradability and ecotoxicity
Author(s) :
Paixão, Susana M.
Description :
Several biological methods employ activated sludge (AS) as inoculum to assess toxicity or biodegradability of pollutants, since pollutants that ultimately enter the environment are often discharged through wastewater treatment plants. The use of AS to evaluate the environmental impact of chemicals a...

Description :
Background:Biodesulfurization (BDS) is a complementary technology to hydrodesulfurization since it allows the removal of recalcitrant sulfur compounds present in fossil fuels. The cost of culture medium to produce the biocatalysts is still one limitation for BDS application. Carob pulp, as an altern...

Description :
In this study, different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been screened for the ability of bioethanol production. Yeasts were grown in synthetic liquid medium containing two different substrates: sucrose at different concentrations (10 to 400g/l) and cane molasses (120g/l of sucrose). The sc...
