Dual Valorization of Olive Mill Wastewater by Bio‐Nanosynthesis of Magnesium Oxide and Yarrowia lipolytica Biomass Production

Abstract

This research investigates an efficient dual valorization of olive mill wastewater in the biosynthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles and in the depollution of the effluent by Yarrowia lipolytica growth evaluation. After removal of polyphenols, the recovered biophenols were reacted with the magnesium precursor to provide magnesium oxide nanoparticles. In order to confirm the biosynthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles, several analyses were undertaken. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum gives a broad absorption at 658 cm−1 confirming the presence of the magnesium oxide nanoparticles, while the UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy reveals an intense transition with a maximum absorption at 300 nm. The X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses show that nanoparticles are in pure cubic crystalline with spherical and hexagonal shapes (average size is 19.4 nm). The zeta potential analysis illustrates a negative potential proving a good stability of the biosynthesized nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were assigned for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus cohnii, and Bacillus niacini. The evaluation of the growth of Yarrowia lipolytica on the recovered olive mill wastewater after removal of polyphenols yielded 3.2 g/L of the Yarrowia biomass in 72 h without nutriment additions, providing an important decrease of chemical oxygen demand (73 %).

Novel static magnetic field effects on green chemistry biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

“…Antibacterial activity of AgNPs was evaluated against , E. coli and S. aureus using the agar-well diffusion and broth micro dilutions method 1 . Approximately 10 7 colony forming units (CFU/mL) of each strain were inoculated in Muller-Hinton agar (MHA) plates and then 50 μl of AgNPs solution with different concentrations (125, 250, and 500 µg/mL) was added to wells which were bored using a core borer of 6 mm diameter.…”

“…Green chemistry proposes use of environmentally sustainable routes to the design, manufacture and application of useful chemical products. The aim is to reduce production or accumulation of potentially harmful reagents with associated health and environmental risks 1 . Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are potent antimicrobials and, commercially, are the most quantitatively important category of metallic nanoparticles—in turn the most important category of engineered nanomaterial 2 .…”

“…Yarrowia lipolytica strain (CLIB 40) was obtained from CIRM-levures, France. During this study, Y. lipolytica was routinely grown on Yeast extract-Peptone-Dextrose (YPD) broth [32]. The supernatant used for the synthesis of nanoparticles was obtained after centrifugation of the suspension at 8,000 rpm for 10 minutes.…”
