A 17-year-old has come up with an innovative solution for removing toxic dyes from wastewater that are the leading detrimental chemicals found in the textile industry.
The ability of oxidative enzyme-producing micro-organisms to efficiently valorize organic pollutants is critical in this context. Yeasts are promising enzyme producers with potential applications in waste management, while lipid accumulation offers significant bioenergy production opportunities. The aim of this study was to explore manganese peroxidase-producing oleaginous yeasts inhabiting the guts of wood-feeding termites for azo dye decolorization, tolerating lignocellulose degradation inhibitors, and biodiesel production. Out of 38 yeast isolates screened from wood-feeding termite gut symb...
Yarrowia sp., and Vanrija humicola. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are some novel yeast species isolated from R. chinenesis and Starmera dryadoides, Candida gotoi, and Hamamotoa lignophila. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of studies on the gut symbionts of xylophagous insects like termites, especially termite digestome, both termites and their gut symbionts, which have many potential bioenergy applications that need careful consideration [28, 29]. In contrast to previous studies on lignin breakdown, which gave no convincing evidence of microbial degradati...
