This kind of algae contributes up to 60% of the oxygen contained in the earth&#39;s atmosphere by absorbing CO2 and releasing O2 during photosynthesis. Micro algae are found abundantly in the natural environment and they also have the ability to survive in adverse conditions. This review focused on the factors of cultivation, harvesting, extraction and the conversion of microalgal biomass into biofuel. The cons of the applications are transportation of inputs, limited location and costs expensive. The pros of this application include high carbon sequestration, additional water treatment, higher lipid yields etc. Microalgae are feasible as a biofuel stock by taking the cultivation technique into consideration. In addition to biofuel these also offer benefits in pharmaceuticals industries and waste water treatments which is also our part of discussion.2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Industrial Biotechnology and Biomaterialshttps://biotech.journalspub.info/?journal=JIBB&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=872Computation of Biokinetic Parameters of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation using Vernonia amygdalina Stem2024-02-26T09:25:52+00:00Ukpaka C. Ppeter.ukpaka@ust.edu.ngAdaobi Stephenie Nwosi-Anelepeter.ukpaka@ust.edu.ng<p><em>This investigation showcases the computation of biokinetic parameters of total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation using Vernonia amygalina stem as bio-stimulant for the remediation of contaminants in loamy soil environment. The research revealed decrease in TPH degradation with increase in contact time and the percentage reduction was computed. The result shows TPH (100 dosage) > TPH (75g dosage) > TPH (50g dosage) > TPH (25g dosage) > TPH (control sample) and the characteristics and trend of variation was experienced in room and sun-dried samples investigated. The bioremediation of TPH using Vernonia amygdalina stem is more effective in room dried samples than sun dried samples. This was attributed to concentration of the nutrient contained by the bio-stimulant. The theorem of Michael Menten, model was applied for the determination of the maximum specific rate of TPH remediation and the dissociation constant of TPH in each bioreactor. This research revealed that the maximum specific rate of TPH (</em> <em>) and the dissociation constant of TPH (</em> <em>) as follows; for Michael Menten </em> <em> were within the range of 0.0172 to 526.32 (ppm/day)<sup>-1</sup> and 454.55 to 833.33 (ppm/day)<sup>-1</sup> for sun dried and room dried as well as </em> <em> value within the range of -15940.89 to -456.66 (ppm)<sup>-1</sup> and -8447.29 to – 20.75 (ppm)<sup>-1</sup> for sun and room dried. The study has shown the significance of the Vernonia amygdalina stem as one of the bio-stimulant that can be used in treatment of the soil environment contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon. The investigation further illustrates the effect of dosage of the bio-stimulant on the rate of the petroleum hydrocarbon degradation as well as the potential especially, if the microbial activity is not inhibited by the physicochemical properties of the system and the environment. This investigation demonstrates high performance of Vernonia amygdalina and as such recommended as a good remediant for mitigation of pollutant in soil clean up programme. The research also demonstrates that the remediant catalyze the microbial activity by utilizing the available nutrient present in it and this process enhanced the TPH remediation in the contaminated soil investigated.</em></p>2024-01-22T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Industrial Biotechnology and Biomaterialshttps://biotech.journalspub.info/?journal=JIBB&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=873A Review on Bioethanol Production2024-02-26T09:25:52+00:00Siddhant Gurjarprakashsurya55@gmail.comVanshika Tyagiprakashsurya55@gmail.comSandeep Sirohiprakashsurya55@gmail.comSurya Prakash D.Vprakashsurya55@gmail.comBioethanol is a renewable and bio-based form of alcohol that serves as an important alternative to fossil fuels, primarily as a transportation fuel and an additive in gasoline and has various other industrial applications. The production of fuel ethanol (which is also referred to as "bioethanol") from renewable lignocellulosic materials has the potential to lessen global petroleum demand while lowering the overall release of carbon dioxide, the primary contributor to global warming. Due to the rapid industrialization and population growth, there is an increasing need for ethanol on a global scale. Bioethanol offers an effective replacement for conventional fuels, issues like resource and land competition, balance of energy, and social and economic variables need to be carefully taken into account. Conventional crops like corn and sugarcane cannot full fill the requirement for manufacture of bioethanol because of their applications as feed and food. Temperature, concentration of sugar, pH, length of fermentation, rate of agitation, and size of inoculum are just a few of the variables that affect the synthesis of bioethanol during fermentation. Agricultural waste and other lignocellulosic materials are thus suitable feed stocks for the production of bioethanol. Agricultural trash is affordable, plentiful, and regenerative. Using agricultural waste to produce bioethanol has the potential to be a promising technology, but there are a lot of challenges and limitations when it comes to managing and transporting biomass and using efficient pretreatment methods for full lignocellulosic de lignification. After enzymatic saccharification, appropriate pretreatment techniques can improve the amounts of fermentable sugars, increasing the process' overall efficiency. New fermentation technologies are necessary for the conversion of xylose and glucose to ethanol in order to enable the entire operation commercially feasible.2023-12-27T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Industrial Biotechnology and Biomaterials
