Abstract
Ergosterol as a primary metabolite and precursor of vitamin D2, is the most plentiful mycosterols in fungal cell membrane. Process optimization to increase the yield and productivity of biological products is a topic of interest. Ultrasonic waves have many applications in biotechnology, like cell disruption, and enhancement of primary and secondary metabolites production. This study disclosed an optimal condition for ultrasound-assisted production (UAP) of ergosterol from Penicillium brevicompactum MUCL 19,011 using L9 Taguchi statistical method. The intensity (IS), time of sonication (TS), treatment frequency (TF), and number of days of treatment (DT) were allocated to study the effects of ultrasound on ergosterol production. The results were analyzed using Minitab version 19. The maximum ergosterol, 11 mg/g cell dry weight (CDW), was produced on the tenth day while all factors were at a low level. The days of treatment with a contribution of 45.48% was the most significant factor for ergosterol production. For the first time, this study revealed the positive effect of ultrasound on the production of ergosterol. Ergosterol production increased 73% (4.63 mg/g CDW) after process optimization. Finally, a mathematical model of ultrasound factors with a regression coefficient of R2 = 0.978 was obtained for the ergosterol production during ultrasound treatment.

Abstract
Organic waste has increased as the global population and economy have grown exponentially. Food waste (FW) is posing a severe environmental issue because of mismanaged disposal techniques, which frequently result in the squandering of carbohydrate-rich feedstocks. In an advanced valorization strategy, organic material in FW can be used as a viable carbon source for microbial digestion and hence for the generation of value-added compounds. In comparison to traditional feedstocks, a modest pretreatment of the FW stream utilizing chemical, biochemical, or thermochemical techniques can extract bulk of sugars for microbial digestion. Pretreatment produces a large number of toxins and inhibitors that affect bacterial fuel and chemical conversion processes. Thus, the current review scrutinizes the FW structure, pretreatment methods (e.g., physical, chemical, physicochemical, and biological), and various strategies for detoxification before microbial fermentation into renewable chemical production. Technological and commercial challenges and future perspectives for FW integrated biorefineries have also been outlined.

Abstract
Conventional fermentation processes need to be upgraded to produce a wide array of biomolecules to overcome lower product yield. The cost of production of biomolecules using the fermentation method could be reduced by increasing the product yield by various process enhancement methods. In this study, different innovative process enhancement methods were evaluated to increase the co-production of uricase and alkaline protease at the bioreactor level. Ultrasound-assisted fermentation (UAF), Extractive fermentation (ATPS), and Ultrasound-assisted extractive fermentation (UATPS) are the three innovative methods used for process enhancement. Maximum enzyme production was obtained in a combinatorial approach of ultrasound and extractive fermentation, i.e., ultrasound-assisted extractive fermentation where uricase and protease production enhanced by 2.5 fold and 1.9 fold, respectively, as compared to conventional fermentation.

Abstract
Recent trends in food waste and its management have increasingly started to focus on treating it as a reusable resource. The hazardous impact of food waste such as the release of greenhouse gases, deterioration of water quality and contamination of land areas are a major threat posed by food waste. Under the circular economy principles, food waste can be used as a sustainable supply of high-value energy, fuel, and nutrients through green techniques such as anaerobic digestion, co-digestion, composting, enzymatic treatment, ultrasonic, hydrothermal carbonization. Recent advances made in anaerobic co-digestion are helping in tackling dual or even multiple waste streams at once with better product yields. Integrated approaches that employ pre-processing the food waste to remove obstacles such as volatile fractions, oils and other inhibitory components from the feedstock to enhance their bioconversion to reduce sugars. Research efforts are also progressing in optimizing the operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, pH and residence time to enhance further the output of products such as methane, hydrogen and other platform chemicals such as lactic acid, succinic acid and formic acid. This review brings together some of the recent progress made in the green strategies towards food waste valorization.

Abstract
In this study, the long-acting mechanism of reactive species was investigated for enhanced ethanol production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results indicated that short-lifetime active species from gas phase plasma dissolved into various liquid microenvironments with different media (water, buffer, medium, and cells), forming different types and amounts of reactive species in multi-scale microenvironments, such as extracellular reactive nitrogen species, endocellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The sustained elevation of cytoplasm calcium concentration with treatment time depended on the activated calcium channels of Cch1p/Mid1p in cell membrane and Yvc1p in vacuole membrane by these species. Accordingly, the Ca2+ increase promoted the H+-ATPase expression. Consequently, 75.6% ATP hydrolysis induced about 5 fold NADH increase compared with the control. Ultimately, the bioethanol yield increased by 34.2% compared to the control. These results promote the development of atmospheric cold plasma as a promising bio-process enhancement technology for improved target product yields of microbes in fermentation industry.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ultrasonic treatment (25 kHz) on biosurfactant production by Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014. The impacts of the ultrasonication (with a frequency of 25 kHz and power of 7.4 W for 30 min time duration) were examined at different stages of the fermentation process to obtain the optimum stimulation instant(s). The optimum scenario was found to be one-time sonication at the 12th hour of fermentation which can be beneficial from an economic point of view (compared with multiple applications of sonication). Ultrasonic treatment at this time resulted in enhancement of the productivities of biomass (4.5 g/L) and biosurfactant (2.01 g/L) which was almost 1.3 times higher than those of the non-sonicated control samples. According to our results, it was clearly observed that glucose consumption increased after ultrasonic treatment representing the improved substrate uptake and progression of the cellular metabolism. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscopic images immediately after sonication clarified the pore formation on the cell surfaces. The results also indicated the enhancement of plasma membrane permeability of the sonicated cells. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analyses also disclosed respectively no structural differences before and after ultrasonic exposure in the produced biosurfactant and bacterial cell membrane. The biosurfactant was characterized to be a mixture of carbohydrate (28%), protein (23%) and lipid (specified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) known as glycolipoprotein. The sustainable critical micelle concentration and the stability of the synthesized biosurfactant can feature its potential applicability in various processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The present work depicts the novel approach of using ultrasound (US) induced cavitation for feedstock pretreatment with an objective of improving the anaerobic digestion (AD) process for biogas production. Initially the critical analysis of literature based on US for improving the biogas production has been presented briefly followed by study on use of US in pretreatment of food waste (FW) as well as during AD to quantify the intensification in the biogas production. Effect of different operating parameters for pretreatment such as irradiation time (over the range 2-14 min), power density (0.2-1 W/mL), duty cycle (20-80%) and substrate loading (3-11%w/v) has been investigated. Highest increase in soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) with final value as 18500 mg/L (±20) (increase of 61.5%) was obtained at optimum treatment conditions of 10 min as irradiation time, 0.4 W/mL as power density, 60% as duty cycle and 7% w/v as the substrate loading. Pretreated FW was further subjected to low intensity US assisted AD process. Parameters optimized for biogas production were power (over the range of 100-200 W), irradiation time (5-15 min) and duty cycle (10-60%). Increased biogas production (almost two times) with 80% sCOD removal after 15 days was obtained at best conditions of 200 W as the US power (0.04 W/mL as power density), 5 min as the US irradiation time and 10% of US duty cycle while AD process without US resulted in only 48% sCOD removal within same time period. The work demonstrated the effective application of US in the pretreatment of feedstock and subsequent AD process giving much higher yield of biogas in shorter time.

Abstract
Invasive weeds ubiquitously found in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems form potential feedstock for lignocellulosic ethanol production. The present study has reported a bioprocess for production of ethanol using mixed feedstock of 8 invasive weeds found in India. The feedstock was subjected to pretreatment comprising dilute acid hydrolysis (for hydrolysis of hemicellulosic fraction), alkaline delignification and enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic fraction. Pentose-rich and hexose-rich hydrolyzates obtained from pretreatment were fermented separately using microbial cultures of S. cerevisiae and C. shehatae. Fermentation mixture was sonicated at 35 kHz at 10% duty cycle. The time profiles of total reducing sugars, ethanol and biomass was fitted to a kinetic model using Genetic Algorithm. Sonication boosted the kinetics of fermentation 2-fold. The net bioethanol yield of the process was ∼220 g/kg raw biomass (with contributions of 86.8 and 133 g/kg raw biomass from pentose and hexose fermentations, respectively). Comparative evaluation of parameters of kinetic model under control and test conditions revealed several beneficial influences of sonication on both pentose and hexose fermentation systems such as faster transport of nutrients, substrate and products across cell membrane, rise in Monod saturation constant for substrate with concurrent reduction in substrate inhibition, and reduction of energy requirements for cell maintenance. Flow cytometry analysis of native and ultrasound-treated cells revealed no adverse influence of sonication on cell viability.

Abstract
Low energy ultrasound irradiation was used to enhance co-production of enzymes uricase and alkaline protease using Bacillus licheniformis NRRL 14209. Production of uricase and alkaline protease was evaluated for different ultrasound parameters such as ultrasound power, time of irradiation, duty cycle and growth stage of organisms at which irradiation is carried out. Maximum uricase production of 0.825 U/mL and alkaline protease of 0.646 U/mL have been obtained when fermentation broth was irradiated at 6 h of growth stage with 60 W power for 15 min of duration having 40% of duty cycle. The enzyme yield was found to be enhanced by a factor of 1.9-3.8 and 1.2-2.2 for uricase and alkaline protease respectively. Nevertheless, intracellular uricase was also observed in a fermentation broth after ultrasonic process intensification. The results indicate the effectiveness of low frequency ultrasound in improving enzyme yields with a vision of commercial applicability of the process.

Abstract
In this study, the influences of ultrasonic pretreatment factors (frequency, power, treatment time) on blends of municipal solid waste (MSW) and paper sludge (PS) with additive (MgO) was explored, through orthogonal experiments design. The optimum operating condition wanted to be acquired. However, for the ultimate (H/C) and ash analysis after pretreatment, solid residue mass and oxygenates compounds contents in products, the influences of factors were in different results. With adding PS unceasingly, the contents of hydrocarbon compounds decreased. And the ultrasonic pretreatment had the obvious influence with high PS percentage. Longer treatment time resulted to the lower content of oxygenates compounds. After adding MgO, the residue mass reduced, which meant MgO had the catalytic action, and the oxygenates compounds content reduced only with 100 kHz, which had the sonochemical effect.

Abstract
Ultrasound irradiation has been gaining increasing interests over the years to assist biological conversion of lignocellulosic biomass and waste materials to biofuels. As such, this study reviewed the different effects of sonication on pre-treatment of lignocellulosic biomass and waste materials prior to biofuel production. The mechanisms of ultrasound irradiation as a pre-treatment technique were initially described and the impacts of sonication on disruption of lignocellulosic materials, alteration of the crystalline lattice structure of cellulose molecules, solubilisation of organic matter, reducing sugar production and enzymatic hydrolysis were then reviewed. Subsequently, the influences of ultrasound irradiation on bio-methane, bio-hydrogen and bio-ethanol production were re-evaluated, with most studies reporting enhanced biofuel production from anaerobic digestion or fermentation processes. Nonetheless, despite its positive impacts on biofuel production, sonication was found to be energetically inefficient based on the lab-scale studies reviewed. To conclude, this study reviewed some of the challenges of ultrasound irradiation for enhanced biofuel production while outlining some areas for further research.

Abstract
The interest in improving the yield and productivity values of relevant microbial fermentations is an increasingly important issue for the scientific community. Therefore, several strategies have been tested for the stimulation of microbial growth and manipulation of their metabolic behavior. One promising approach involves the performance of fermentative processes during non-conventional conditions, which includes high pressure (HP), electric fields (EF) and ultrasound (US). These advanced technologies are usually applied for microbial inactivation in the context of food processing. However, the approach described in this study focuses on the use of these technologies at sub-lethal levels, since the aim is microbial growth and fermentation under these stress conditions. During these sub-lethal conditions, microbial strains develop specific genetic, physiologic and metabolic stress responses, possibly leading to fermentation products and processes with novel characteristics. In some cases, these modifications can represent considerable improvements, such as increased yields, productivities and fermentation rates, lower accumulation of by-products and/or production of different compounds. Although several studies report the successful application of these technologies during the fermentation processes, information on this subject is still scarce and poorly understood. For that reason, the present review paper intends to assemble and discuss the main findings reported in the literature to date, and aims to stimulate interest and encourage further developments in this field.
