Upcycling of enzymatically recovered amino acids from textile waste blends: Approaches for production of valuable bioproducts
Researchers at the Institute of Environmental Biotechnology, BOKU University in Austria developed a sustainable method to recycle blended wool-polyester textile waste using enzymatic hydrolysis followed by microbial valorization. Using the INFORS HT Multitron Standard incubator shaker, they cultivated Chlorella vulgaris and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa on recovered wool hydrolysates, producing valuable bioproducts including natural pigments and lipids. This innovative process transforms textile waste into renewable resources for dyes and biofuels, supporting the circular bioeconomy.

Deep eutectic solvent pretreatment boosts sugar yield from vine shoots
This study demonstrates how vine shoot waste, an underutilized agricultural byproduct, can be transformed into fermentable sugars using choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Researchers evaluated two DES formulations and found that ChCl:lactic acid (1:5) pretreatment significantly enhanced carbohydrate conversion, achieving rates of up to 75.2% for cellulose and 99.9% for xylan. Enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated biomass was performed in the INFORS HT Minitron incubator shaker, enabling controlled saccharification. The results support a greener, efficient approach to biomass fractionation and lignin recovery, with strong potential for sustainable bioprocessing and agricultural waste valorization.
