🚨 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁! 🚨 We announce a new publication by our former PhD student Paolo Costa and our Research Fellow Viviana Paulon! This study showcases how fruit waste can provide a cost-effective substrate for 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗲 (𝗣𝗛𝗔𝘀) biosynthesis through 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 🍈 ♻️ 📊 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘀 & 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: - 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀:Proven viability of using fruit waste as an affordable substrate for PHA production. - 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: Uncovered the specific microbial shifts regulating acidogenic conversion under increasing Organic Loading Rates (OLRs). - 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Linked community changes directly to metabolic outputs via advanced metagenomic approach. - 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Paved the way for optimized autotrophic and heterotrophic PHA production. 🧬The paper, entitled "𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" has been published in 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 and is open access.🧪 🔬Read the full paper here: 👉https://lnkd.in/dETha73s 🍈A special acknowledgment goes to FRANCESCON OP SOC.AGR.
