Production of sustainable aviation fuel precursors using the oleaginous yeast R...

ABSTRACT: Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) obtained from renewable sources of carbon can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and contribute for mitigating climate changes. In the present study, the yeast Rhodotorula toruloides PYCC 5615 was found to be highly promising for the bioconversion of eucalyptus bark hydrolysate and the accumulation of intracellular lipids which were further thermochemically processed to b...

This talk explores the role of yeast biology and biotechnology in advancing the sustainable production of biofuels, particularly in the context of the transportation sector, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Focusing on oleaginous yeasts, the presentation highlights their potential as microbial cell factories to produce alternative lipids, replacing vegetable oils in biorefineri...

Culturable yeast diversity associated with industrial cultures of the microalga...

The marine oleaginous microalga Microchloropsis gaditana (formerly Nannochloropsis gaditana) exhibits a high capacity to thrive in a broad range of environmental conditions, being predominantly utilized as feed in aquaculture. This article reports the characterization of the culturable yeast population present during the scale-up process of M. gaditana cultivation at Necton S.A. facilities, from 5 L flasks unti...

Yeast species associated with industrial cultures of the marine microalgae Tiso...

This study provides the first systematic characterization of culturable yeast diversity associated with large-scale cultivation of Tisochrysis lutea. This marine haptophyte is widely used in aquaculture for its high content of essential fatty acids, pigments, and other bioactive compounds. Culture sampling was conducted at Necton S.A. facilities (Olhão, Portugal) over full production cycles from 5 L flasks unti...

Microbiologia para Todos: A Importância da Literacia em Microbiologia

A Comunicação e Divulgação de Ciência em Microbiologia foi o tema abordado nesta comunicação. Foram destacadas as atividades desenvolvidas pela Sociedade Portuguesa de Microbiologia (SPM), no âmbito da sua missão de promover, desenvolver e divulgar a Microbiologia, facilitando e estimulando a comunicação entre microbiólogos e entre estes e a sociedade em geral. A importância social de os cientistas e outros pro...

Vibriosis outbreaks in aquaculture: addressing environmental and public health ...

Bacterial and viral diseases in aquaculture result in severe production and economic losses. Among pathogenic bacteria, species belonging to the Vibrio genus are one of the most common and widespread disease-causing agents. Vibrio infections play a leading role in constraining the sustainable growth of the aquaculture sector worldwide and, consequently, are the target of manifold disease prevention strategies. ...

Molecular and physiological basis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae tolerance to adve...

Lignocellulose-based biorefineries have been gaining increasing attention to substitute current petroleum-based refineries. Biomass processing requires a pretreatment step to break lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrant structure, which results in the release of a broad range of microbial inhibitors, mainly weak acids, furans, and phenolic compounds. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most commonly used organism for...

HAA1 and PRS3 overexpression boosts yeast tolerance towards acetic acid improvi...

Acetic acid tolerance and xylose consumption are desirable traits for yeast strains used in industrial biotechnological processes. In this work, overexpression of a weak acid stress transcriptional activator encoded by the gene HAA1 and a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase encoded by PRS3 in a recombinant industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain containing a xylose metabolic pathway was evaluated in the ...
