This work evaluates a microbial-based biodiesel production process through simultaneous esterification and transesterification of the lipid-rich fungal biomass using ethanol as both extractor and acyl acceptor. Two of the ...

Bacteria belonging to the Rhodococcus genus are frequent components of microbial communitiesin diverse natural environments. Some rhodococcal species exhibit the outstanding ability toproduce significant amounts of ...

The origin of a terrestrial flora in the Ordovician required adaptation to novel biotic and abiotic stressors. Oil bodies, a synapomorphy of liverworts, accumulate secondary metabolites, but their function and development ...
