Sustainable production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14581: Kinetic and stoichiometric parameters of fed-batch production, ultrasound-assisted recovery, and characterization

The growing demand for bio-based materials has stimulated the development of sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics, among which polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) stand out due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. In this context, the present study evaluated the...

Second-generation bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass: An integration-oriented review of pretreatment, bioconversion, techno-economic assessment, and industrial perspectives

The growing demand for sustainable energy and the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use have accelerated the development of renewable alternatives, particularly biofuels. Among them, second-generation (2G) ethanol produced from lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a promisin...
