Alternative feedstocks for high-quality biodiesel: Lipid production from eucaly...

Dias, Bruna; Lopes, Marlene; Marques, Susana; Gírio, Francisco; Belo, Isabel

ABSTRACT: Microbial lipids produced by yeasts from lignocellulosic biomass are a promising feedstock for the biodiesel industry, providing a renewable energy source as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. This study investigated the potential of Yarrowia lipolytica W29 to produce lipid-rich biomass from undetoxified sugar-concentrated eucalyptus bark hydrolysate (EBH). The lipid concentrations achieved i...

Boosting insect meal application in food by bioprocessing with yeasts

Araújo, Liliana; Dias, Bruna; Salgado, José Manuel; Lopes, Marlene; Belo, Isabel

The growing global demand for protein-rich foods requires sustainable alternatives to the conventional animal based protein systems. In this sense, insect-based proteins, especially from Tenebrio molitor, present a promising nutrient-rich solution with a reduced ecological footprint. Nonetheless, insect meal is composed of chitin and complex proteins, limiting their digestibility. This study aimed to enhance th...


Mapeamento dos riscos de queimadas e incêndios no Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Para...

Dias, Bruna; Brito, Jorge Luís Silva; Rosendo, Jussara dos Santos

De 2002 a 2016, aproximadamente 423 milhões de hectares da superfície terrestre queimaram anualmente. Todavia, existem quatro fatores que devem associar o aumento anual no número de registros a áreas queimadas e incendiadas: i) atividades humanas; ii) característica do material combustível; iii) atividades de manejo do fogo; iv) mudanças no uso da terra e no clima. Nesse sentido, este torna-se um dos principais...

Proteomics characterization of human uterine samples during reproductive ageing

Dias, Bruna; Formoso, Inês; Guedes-Martins, Luís; Almeida, Henrique; Silva, Elisabete; Silva, André M.N.; Matos, Liliana

Nowadays, postponing motherhood has become more common in modern societies. Such decision rises major social and health concerns, as advanced maternal age associates with low fertility, pregnancy complications and a greater need for assisted reproductive techniques. Female reproductive ageing is associated with alterations that are particularly evident in the ovaries. Yet, given the pivotal contribution of the ...


Hydrothermal pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of olive tree prunings for l...

Dias, Bruna; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa M.; Belo, Isabel; Lopes, Marlene

In recent years, the challenges of climate change, the energy crises, waste management issues, and accelerating resource exhaustion have driven research into a search for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Lignocellulosic materials, owing to their widespread availability, minimal carbon footprint, and desirable composition, have garnered attention in the context of 2nd generation biorefineries for the pr...


Biomass and microbial lipids production by Yarrowia lipolytica W29 from eucalyp...

Dias, Bruna; Lopes, Marlene; Fernandes, Helena; Marques, Susana; Gírio, Francisco; Belo, Isabel

Using lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate as a renewable and abundant feedstock for microbial lipids production is a sustainable and economic high-potential approach. This study investigated the potential of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce lipids-rich biomass from eucalyptus bark hydrolysate (EBH) obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the biomass pretreated by steam explosion. The effect of EB...

Enhancement of gluconic acid production by Aspergillus niger from by-products a...

Fernandes, S.; Dias, Bruna; Belo, Isabel; Lopes, Marlene

BACKGROUND The profitable production of gluconic acid (GA), an organic acid extensively used in the food and beverages industries, relies on the use of cheap and available substrates with high sugar content. The high oxygen demand for the microbial conversion of glucose to GA is still a bottleneck of industrial production in conventional stirred tank reactors. Therefore, in this study, for the first time, it wa...
