Strawberry Tree Fruit Residue as Carbon Source Towards Sustainable Fuel Biodesu...
Paixão, Susana M.; Silva, Tiago; Salgado, Francisco; Alves, LuísABSTRACT: Biodesulfurization (BDS) is a clean technology that uses microorganisms to efficiently remove sulfur from recalcitrant organosulfur compounds present in fuels (fossil fuels or new-generation fuels resulting from pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction). One of the limitations of this technology is the low desulfurization rates. These result in the need for greater amounts of biocatalyst and lead to in...
Ionic liquids toward enhanced carotenoid extraction from bacterial biomass
Silva, Tiago; Alves, Luís; Salgado, Francisco; Roseiro, J. Carlos; Lukasik, Rafal M.; Paixão, Susana M.ABSTRACT: Carotenoids are high added-value products primarily known for their intense coloration and high antioxidant activity. They can be extracted from a variety of natural sources, such as plants, animals, microalgae, yeasts, and bacteria. Gordonia alkanivorans strain 1B is a bacterium recognized as a hyper-pigment producer. However, due to its adaptations to its natural habitat, hydrocarbon-contaminated so...

Application of ionic liquids for bacterial carotenoid extraction
Salgado, Francisco; Silva, Tiago; Alves, Luís; Roseiro, J. Carlos; Lukasik, Rafal M.; Paixão, Susana M.ABSTRACT: One of the ways to make microbial bioprocesses more economically viable is to enhance valorization of high added value products resulting from the biomass, like carotenoids, which have a high market value. To recover these pigments from microbial biomass a good extraction method is required. Solvent extraction is one of the methods commonly used to extract carotenoids, however, solvent extractions are...
A randomized controlled preclinical trial on 3 interposal temporomandibular joi...
Ângelo, David Faustino; Wang, Yadong; Morouço, Pedro; Monje, Florencio; Mónico, Lisete; González-Garcia, Raúl; Moura, Carla; Alves, Nuno; Sanz, DavidThe effort to develop an effective and safe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc substitute has been one of the mainstreams of tissue engineering. Biodegradable customized scaffolds could approach safety and effectiveness to regenerate a new autologous disc, rather than using non‐biodegradable materials. However, it is still technically challenging to mimic the biomechanical properties of the native disc with bio...
