Starmerella bombicola ATCC 22214
(Ancestor NCBI TaxID 75736,
species name lookup)
cityu.edu.hk>Recent sustainable development goals of food security, environmental protection, material and energy efficiency are the key drivers of the valorization of food waste. In the present work, the production of biosurfactant sophorolipids from several (food) waste streams was investigated, using the non-pathogenic yeast Starmerella bombicola. From a preliminary screening, restaurant food waste emerged as the most suitable feedstock compared to bakery waste, textile waste, used corn oil, animal fat and lipid fraction of hydrolyzed food waste. Restaurant food waste was subsequently used for sophorolipids production in a laboratory-scale bioreactor. Food waste obtained from a local restaurant was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 16 h, yielding a hydrolysate containing about 100 g/L glucose and 2.4 g/L free amino nitrogen. High SL process efficiency was achieved by fed-batch fermentation using the restaurant food waste hydrolysate as the complete batch medium, i.e. without any supplementation of additional medium components such as vitamins, salts, nitrogen or phosphate. Controlled feeding of glucose and oleic acid to the culture was performed after the batch phase. A sophorolipids titer of 115.2 g/L was obtained in a fermentation time of 92 h resulting in an overall volumetric productivity of 1.25 g/L.h. These results achieved for sophorolipids productivity using hydrolyzed food waste are in the same order of magnitude as the reported values using traditional (complex) fermentation media. This indicates the suitability of the developed process using food waste for the advancement of waste-based bio-processes for the production of sophorolipids.

Aspergillus oryzae
(NCBI TaxID 5062,
species name lookup)
iium.edu.myConventional piezoelectric materials from piezoceramic and polymer are non-renewable and could be toxic in nature, which limit its application in biomedical application. Chitosan, which is a natural polysaccharide, has the potential to be used as piezoelectric biomaterial which may provide the solution for toxicity, non-biodegradability and non-biocompatibility issues of conventional piezoelectric materials. Chitosan may be produced sustainably through extraction from fungal cell walls. This study aims to characterize chitosan extracted from fungi Aspergillus oryzae for piezoelectric application. A. oryzae was cultivated on modified Sabouraud dextrose broth medium. Alkaline treatment was performed on fungal biomass using 1 M NaOH for extraction and deacetylation of chitosan at 100 °C for 1 hour. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that the broad absorption band that corresponds to hydrogen bonded O-H stretching vibrations overlapped with N-H stretching band. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the semicrystalline nature of the chitosan sample. Piezoelectric properties can be attributed to intrinsic molecular polarization arising from the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure.
