However, comprehensive changes for the energy supply of the future are essential. Notwithstanding the fact that there are still very large deposits of energy resources from a geological point of view, the finite nature of conventional oil reserves is indisputable. To reduce our dependence on oil, the EU, the USA, and other major economic zones rely on energy diversification. For this purpose, alternative materials and technologies are being sought, and is most obvious in the transport sector. The objective is to progressively replace fossil fuels with renewable and more sustainable fuels. In this respect, biofuels have a pre-eminent position in terms of their capability of blending with fossil fuels and being usable in existing cars without substantial modification. Ethanol can be considered as the primary renewable liquid fuel. In this chapter enzymes, micro-organisms, and processes for ethanol production based on renewable resources are described.}, language = {en} } @article{HoffstadtNikolauszKrafftetal.2024, author = {Hoffstadt, Kevin and Nikolausz, Marcell and Krafft, Simone and Bonatelli, Maria and Kumar, Vivekanantha and Harms, Hauke and Kuperjans, Isabel}, title = {Optimization of the ex situ biomethanation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a novel meandering plug flow reactor: start-up phase and flexible operation}, series = {Bioengineering}, volume = {11}, journal = {Bioengineering}, number = {2}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2306-5354}, doi = {10.3390/bioengineering11020165}, pages = {18 Seiten}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{CheenakulaHoffstadtKrafftetal.2022, author = {Cheenakula, Dheeraja and Hoffstadt, Kevin and Krafft, Simone and Reinecke, Diana and Klose, Holger and Kuperjans, Isabel and Gr{\"o}mping, Markus}, title = {Anaerobic digestion of algal-bacterial biomass of an Algal Turf Scrubber system}, series = {Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery}, volume = {13}, journal = {Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2190-6823}, doi = {10.1007/s13399-022-03236-z}, pages = {15 Seiten}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study investigated the anaerobic digestion of an algal-bacterial biofilm grown in artificial wastewater in an Algal Turf Scrubber (ATS). The ATS system was located in a greenhouse (50°54′19ʺN, 6°24′55ʺE, Germany) and was exposed to seasonal conditions during the experiment period. The methane (CH4) potential of untreated algal-bacterial biofilm (UAB) and thermally pretreated biofilm (PAB) using different microbial inocula was determined by anaerobic batch fermentation. Methane productivity of UAB differed significantly between microbial inocula of digested wastepaper, a mixture of manure and maize silage, anaerobic sewage sludge, and percolated green waste. UAB using sewage sludge as inoculum showed the highest methane productivity. The share of methane in biogas was dependent on inoculum. Using PAB, a strong positive impact on methane productivity was identified for the digested wastepaper (116.4\%) and a mixture of manure and maize silage (107.4\%) inocula. By contrast, the methane yield was significantly reduced for the digested anaerobic sewage sludge (50.6\%) and percolated green waste (43.5\%) inocula. To further evaluate the potential of algal-bacterial biofilm for biogas production in wastewater treatment and biogas plants in a circular bioeconomy, scale-up calculations were conducted. It was found that a 0.116 km2 ATS would be required in an average municipal wastewater treatment plant which can be viewed as problematic in terms of space consumption. However, a substantial amount of energy surplus (4.7-12.5 MWh a-1) can be gained through the addition of algal-bacterial biomass to the anaerobic digester of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater treatment and subsequent energy production through algae show dominancy over conventional technologies.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WulfhorstDuweMoehringetal.2016, author = {Wulfhorst, H. and Duwe, A. and M{\"o}hring, S. and Jurca, O. and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Analysis of pretreated biomass by differential scanning 132 calorimetry and multivariate data analysis}, series = {New frontiers of biotech-processes (Himmelfahrtstagung) : 02-04 May 2016, Rhein-Mosel-Halle, Koblenz/Germany}, booktitle = {New frontiers of biotech-processes (Himmelfahrtstagung) : 02-04 May 2016, Rhein-Mosel-Halle, Koblenz/Germany}, publisher = {DECHEMA}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, pages = {132}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{SiekerUlberDimitrovaetal.2009, author = {Sieker, Tim and Ulber, Roland and Dimitrova, Darina and Bart, Hans-J{\"o}rg and Neuner, Andreas and Heinzle, Elmar and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Silage : Fermentationsrohstoff f{\"u}r die chemische Industrie?}, series = {labor\&more}, journal = {labor\&more}, number = {2}, pages = {44 -- 45}, year = {2009}, abstract = {In Anbetracht des zu erwartenden R{\"u}ckgangs der Verf{\"u}gbarkeit fossiler Rohstoffe m{\"u}ssen nicht nur f{\"u}r den Energiesektor, sondern auch f{\"u}r die Herstellung industrieller Produkte alternative Rohstoffe gefunden werden.

Aliphatic diketones, like 2,3-pentanedione, 2,3-hexanedione, 5-methyl-2,3-hexanedione, 3,4-hexanedione and 2,3-heptanedione are well transformed. In addition, surprisingly alkyl phenyl dicarbonyls, like 2-hydroxy-1-phenylpropan-1-one and phenylglyoxal are accepted, whereas their derivatives with two phenyl groups are not substrates. Supplementation of Mn²⁺ (1 mM) increases BcBDH's activity in biotransformations.

In conventional lab-on-a-chip-platforms, solvents and samples are passed through defined microfluidic channels with complex flow control installations. The droplet actuation platform presented here is a promising alternative. With it, it is possible to move a liquid drop (microreactor) on a planar surface of a reaction platform (lab-in-a-drop). The actuation of microreactors on the hydrophobic surface of the platform is based on the use of magnetic forces acting on the outer shell of the liquid drops which is made of a thin layer of superhydrophobic magnetite particles. The hydrophobic surface of the platform is needed to avoid any contact between the liquid core and the surface to allow a smooth movement of the microreactor. On the platform, one or more microreactors with volumes of 10 µL can be positioned and moved simultaneously. The platform itself consists of a 3 x 3 matrix of electrical double coils which accommodate either neodymium or iron cores. The magnetic field gradients are automatically controlled. By variation of the magnetic field gradients, the microreactors' magnetic hydrophobic shell can be manipulated automatically to move the microreactor or open the shell reversibly. Reactions of substrates and corresponding enzymes can be initiated by merging the microreactors or bringing them into contact with surface immobilized catalysts.}, language = {en} } @article{HeinzeMangPopescuetal.2016, author = {Heinze, D. and Mang, Thomas and Popescu, C. and Weichold, O.}, title = {Effect of side chain length and degree of polymerization on the decomposition and crystallization behaviour of chlorinated poly(vinyl ester) oligomers}, series = {Thermochimica Acta}, volume = {637}, journal = {Thermochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0040-6031 (electronic)}, doi = {10.1016/j.tca.2016.05.015}, pages = {143 -- 153}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Four members of a homologous series of chlorinated poly(vinyl ester) oligomers CCl₃-(CH₂CH (OCO(CH₂)ₘCH₃))ₙ-Cl with degrees of polymerization of 10 and 20 were prepared by telomerisation using carbon tetrachloride. The number of side chain carbon atoms ranges from 2 (poly(vinyl acetate) to 18 (poly(vinyl stearate)). The effect of the n-alkyl side chain length and of the degree of polymerization on the thermal stability and crystallization behaviour of the synthesized compounds was investigated. All oligomers degrade in two major steps by first losing HCl and side chains with subsequent breakdown of the backbone. The members with short side chains, up to poly(vinyl octanoate), are amorphous and show internal plasticization, whereas those with high number of side chain carbon atoms are semi-crystalline due to side-chain crystallization. A better packing for poly(vinyl stearate) is also noticeable. The glass transition and melting temperatures as well as the onset temperature of decomposition are influenced to a larger extent by the side chain length than by the degree of polymerization. Thermal stability is improved if both the size and number of side chains increase, but only a long side chain causes a significant increase of the resistance to degradation. This results in a stabilization of PVAc so that oligomers from poly(vinyl octanoate) on are stable under atmospheric conditions. Thus, the way to design stable, chlorinated PVEs oligomers is to use a long n-alkyl side chain.}, language = {en} } @article{PinkenburgSchiffelsSelmer2016, author = {Pinkenburg, Olaf and Schiffels, Johannes and Selmer, Thorsten}, title = {Das CoLibry-Konzept - ein Werkzeugkasten f{\"u}r die Synthetische Biologie: Bioproduktion}, series = {BIOspektrum}, volume = {22}, journal = {BIOspektrum}, number = {6}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007/s12268-016-0734-8}, pages = {593 -- 595}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Regardless of size or destination, synthetic biology starts with com-parably small information units, which need to be combined and properly arranged in order to achieve a certain goal.

By subtracting images pixel-by-pixel one can generate images representing certain ranges of β-particle energies. The method is applied to the measurement of irradiated reactor graphite samples containing several radionuclides to determine the spatial distribution of these radionuclides within pre-defined energy windows. The process was repeated under fixed parameters after thermal treatment of the samples. The greyscale images of the distribution after treatment were subtracted from the corresponding pre-treatment images. Significant changes in the intensity and distribution of radionuclides could be observed in some samples.
