abstract background: in this study we aimed to evaluate the impact of chronic exposure to the gly-phosate (gp) on rat’s testicular tissue and sperm parameters. objective: testicular tissue, morphology of sperms and testosterone level in serum of mature male rats were analyzed. materials and methods: animals were divided into two test and control-sham groups. the test group was subdivided into 4...

In this work, microbial lipid production from non-detoxified Eucalyptus bark hydrolysate (EBH) with oleaginous xylose-utilizing Ashbya gossypii strains was explored. The best producing strain a set of engineered identified in synthetic media mimicking the composition EBH (SM), profile characterized, and yeast extract corn steep liquor (CSL) were pinpointed as supplements enabling good balance b...

Increasing demand for plant oil for food, feed, and fuel production has led to food-fuel competition, higher plant lipid cost, and more need for agricultural land. On the other hand, the growing global production of biodiesel has increased the production of glycerol as a by-product. Efficient utilization of this by-product can reduce biodiesel production costs. We engineered Yarrowia lipolytica...

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is the most commonly practiced operation in lignocellulose bioconversion to avoid the sugar product inhibition to cellulase enzymes. In this study, for the first time SSF was tested on microbial lipid fermentation using the diluted acid pretreated and biodetoxified corn stover. The results show that SSF was effective than the separate hydroly...
