Glycerol is a highly versatile molecule because of its three hydroxyl groups and can be transformed to a plethora of different value-added fine chemicals and products. It is an important byproduct in biodiesel production and, hence, produced in high amounts, which resulted in a high surplus flooding the market over the last decades. Thus, glycerol is regarded as a potential platform chemical, and many research efforts were devoted to find active catalysts to transform glycerol to various products via different catalytic processes. The selective oxidation reaction is one of the most promising reaction pathways to produce valuable fine chemicals used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. This Review describes the recent developments in selective glycerol oxidation to value-added products over heterogeneous catalysts. Particular emphasis is placed not only on newly developed catalysts based on supported noble-metal nanoparticles but also on catalysts containing nonprecious metals. The idea of using cost-efficient non-noble metals for glycerol oxidation is appealing from an economic point of view. Numerous parameters can influence the catalytic performance of the materials, which can be tuned by various synthetic approaches. The reasons for enhancements in activity are critically examined and put into perspective among the various studies. Moreover, during the past decade, many research groups also reported photocatalytic and, more scarcely, electrocatalytic pathways for glycerol oxidation, which are also described in detail herein and have otherwise found little attention in other reviews.

“…In vegetable oil biorefineries, bio-commodities are produced from oils. The products may be converted via transesterification into fatty acid esters, which can be used in diesel engines [3]. Unlike crude sugar and vegetable oil biorefineries, lignocellulosic biorefineries make use of non-edible waste biomass as feedstocks, protecting food security.…”

Despite all the progresses made by metabolic engineering, still only a few biotechnological processes are running at an industrial level. In order to boost the biotechnological sector, integration strategies as well as long-term views are needed. The aim of the present review is to identify the main drawbacks in biotechnological processes, and to propose possible solutions to overcome the issues in question. Novel cell factories and bioreactor design are discussed as possible solutions. In particular, the following microorganisms: Yarrowia lipolytica, Trichosporon oleaginosus, Ustilago cynodontis, Debaryomyces hansenii along with sequential bioreactor configurations are presented as possible cell factories and bioreactor design solutions, respectively.

“…TNF is an immune system regulator with an important role in inflammation and the potential to subsequently induce oxidative stress [ 35 – 38 ]. Consequently, the signaling pathway is believed to be involved in the progression of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases while also speculated to be a therapeutic target [ 35 – 37 ]. By determining the direction of chemical-gene activity from the ToxCast assay analysis, we assigned a direction of activity to each chemical-gene interaction for polymarcine and the genes associated with both the TNF signaling pathway and PD.…”

Addressing the complex relationship between public health and environmental exposure requires multiple types and sources of data. An important source of chemical data derives from high-throughput screening (HTS) efforts, such as the Tox21/ToxCast program, which aim to identify chemical hazard using primarily in vitro assays to probe toxicity. While most of these assays target specific genes, assessing the disease-relevance of these assays remains challenging. Integration with additional data sets may help to resolve these questions by providing broader context for individual assay results. The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), a publicly available database that builds networks of chemical, gene, and disease information from manually curated literature sources, offers a promising solution for contextual integration with HTS data. Here, we tested the value of integrating data across Tox21/ToxCast and CTD by linking elements common to both databases (i.e., assays, genes, and chemicals). Using polymarcine and Parkinson’s disease as a case study, we found that their union significantly increased chemical-gene associations and disease-pathway coverage. Integration also enabled new disease associations to be made with HTS assays, expanding coverage of chemical-gene data associated with diseases. We demonstrate how integration enables development of predictive adverse outcome pathways using 4-nonylphenol, branched as an example. Thus, we demonstrate enhancements to each data source through database integration, including scenarios where HTS data can efficiently probe chemical space that may be understudied in the literature, as well as how CTD can add biological context to those results.
