Integrated biorefinery development using winery waste streams for the production of bacterial cellulose, succinic acid and value-added fractions

Katiana Filippi et al.

Summary: An integrated biorefinery was developed using winery wastes like grape pomace, grape-seed oil, and wine lees to produce bacterial cellulose, grape-seed oil, ethanol, succinic acid, and other products through optimized lignin removal and polyphenol extraction. The experimental design successfully optimized the extraction processes and achieved high yields of targeted products, demonstrating the potential for comprehensive utilization of winery wastes in biorefinery applications.

Transient in situ measurement of kombucha biofilm growth and mechanical properties

Pascal Bertsch et al.

Summary: Through interfacial shear rheology (ISR), the growth process of kombucha biofilm can be determined directly at the interface, revealing a two-step growth process with clearly distinguishable phases. The first phase is attributed to the initial adsorption of bacteria at the air-water interface, showing great variability, while the second phase is initiated by bacterial cellulose excretion, demonstrating astonishing reproducibility.
