Characterization of spent yeast streams from precision fermentations driven by ...
Deuchande, Teresa; Fundo, Joana F.; Rodrigues, Daniela; Pintado, Manuela E.; Amaro, Ana L.Currently, valuable biomolecules are sustainably produced through fermentation using genetically modified microorganisms. However, this industry also generates several waste streams, such as spent yeast (SY). To close the sustainability loop in bioproduction, it is essential to define valorization strategies for such waste streams. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the compositional differences among these...
