Abstract
Lactic acid is a versatile, multi-functional organic monomer in various industries, creating worldwide demand. High titer lactic acid production was achieved by novel Bacillus amyloliquefaciens J2V2AA through sugarcane molasses fermentation up to 178 mg mL-1. A metabolomics approach such as combined GC-MS and LC-MS was applied to elucidate the involvement of key metabolites in lactic acid production. The results revealed the participation of 58 known intra-cellular metabolites at various pathways in lactic acid production. Twenty-eight highly up-regulated and down-regulated metabolites were analyzed, and a schematic diagram of a possible lactic acid production pathway was proposed. The produced lactic acid was analyzed through FTIR, UV-Spectrum, and HPLC analysis.

Abstract
Lactic acid (LA) is a nifty molecule with an eclectic range of applications in innumerable industries and is produced through biological and chemical processes. Factually, LA is converted into lactide (LAC), which is the precursor for polylactic acid (PLA). PLA is considered one of the first-rate replacements for petroleum-based products and is believed to be environmentally sustainable. Nevertheless, it has always been challenging due to increased PLA productivity costs. Reduction in the LA and LAC production price directly echoes the production price of PLA. Therefore, low-cost LA and LAC production methods have to be found to produce PLA effectively. Hence, this study uses cheap agricultural sources derived microbial LA to make LAC through dimerization. Produced LAC was analyzed through FT-IR, NMR, TGA and XRD. FT-IR results revealed that the successful dimerization of LA to LAC, NMR analysis revealed that the aligning of methine and methyl groups in produced LAC, TGA analysis exposed that the microbial LAC has more thermal stability than the commercial LAC, XRD results showed that the produced LACs are crystalline with 32% and 42% crystallinity. To the best of our acquaintance, this manuscript is pioneering one to describe LA production through microbial fermentation and uses this monomer to produce LAC through dimerization.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a range of unique bioplastics that are bio-based and biodegradable. PLA is currently driving market expansion for lactic acid (LA) due to its high demand as a building block in production. One of the most practical and environmentally benign techniques for synthesising PLA is through enzymatic polymerisation of microbial LA monomers. However, microbial LA fermentation does have some limitations. Firstly, it requires the use of a nutritionally rich medium. Secondly, LA production can be disrupted by bacteriophage infection or other microorganisms. Lastly, the yield can be low due to the formation of by-products through heterofermentative pathway. Considering the potential use of PLA as a replacement for conventional petrochemical-based polymers in industrial applications, researchers are focused on exploring the diversity of LA-producing microorganisms from various niches. Their goal is to study the functional properties of these microorganisms and their ability to produce industrially valuable metabolites. This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of lactic acid-producing microorganisms used in microbial fermentation for PLA synthesis.

Abstract
In the current study, the squid, Sepioteuthis lessoniana ink was used as a raw material. It summarizes physicochemical, elemental, and spectral properties (UV/Visible spectroscopy and FT-IR) of crude ink, whereas the biochemical analysis was performed with crude ink (CI) as well as melanin-free ink (MFI). The percentage yield was analyzed using various solvent extracts of CI and MFI. GC-MS was performed for the chemical constituents of the methanolic extract of ink. Furthermore, the methanolic extract was subjected to various biological applications. The physicochemical analysis defines the presence of moisture, ash, extractive value, solubility, and thermal stability of CI. The biochemical analysis reveals protein, lipid, and carbohydrate of 2.5, 2.2, and 2.37 mg/ml for CI and 2.8, 3.7, and 4.51 mg/ml for MFI respectively. The extract showed the highest zone of inhibition at 100 μg/ml. The antioxidant activity reveals the highest percentage of radical-scavenging activity in nitric oxide (NO) (89%), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay showed the highest inhibition activity of 0.41 nm at 100 µg/ml. The cytotoxic ability of methanolic extract against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line revealed an IC50 value of 10.13 μg/ml. Toxicity assay showed increased mortality of Artemia nauplii at higher concentrations (1000 ppm/40%) of extract. These findings indicate that S. lessoniana ink is a novel prospective product that needs to be characterized in order to increase its pharmacological activity.

Abstract
Bioprospecting about new marine oleaginous fungi that produce advantageous bioproducts in a green sustainable process is the key of blue bioeconomy. Herein, the marine Paradendryphiella sp. was utilized for single cell oils (SCOs) production economically, via central composite design, the lipid content enhanced 2.2-fold by 5.5 g/L lipid yeild on seawater-based media supplemented with molasses concentration 50 g/L, yeast extract, 2.25 g/L at initial pH value (5.3) and 8 days of static incubation. Subsequently, the fatty acid methyl esters profiles of SCOs produced on optimized media under different abiotic conditions were determined; signifying qualitative and quantitative variations. Interestingly, the psychrophilic-prolonged incubation increased the unsaturation level of fatty acids to 59.34%, while ω-6 and ω-3 contents representing 23.53% and 0.67% respectively. Remarkably, it exhibited the highest EC100 dose by 677.03 µg/mL on normal human lung fibroblast Wi-38 cells. Meanwhile, it showed the highest inhibiting proliferation potential on cancer cell lines of A549, MDA-MB 231 and HepG-2 cells by 372.37, 417.48 and 365.00 µg/mL, respectively. Besides, it elevated the oxidative stress, the expression of key apoptotic genes and suppressed the expression of key oncogenes (NF-κB, BCL2 and cyclin D); implying its promising efficacy in cancer treatment as adjuvant drug. This study denoted the lipogenesis capacity of Paradendryphiella sp. under acidic/alkaline and psychrophilic/mesophilic conditions. Hereby attaining efficient and economic process under seasonal variation with different Egyptian marine sources to fill the gap of freshwater crisis and simultaneously preserve energy.

Abstract
Abstract
Lactic acid is a natural organic acid with diverse of applications in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical industry. Recently, the demand of lactic acid has been grown due to its utilization for polylactic acid production. Microbial production of lactic acid production is preferable due to optical purity of product, utilization of low cost substrates, and low energy requirement. Lignocellulosic biomass and other organic wastes are considered potential raw materials for cost-effective production of lactic acid. The raw materials are either hydrolyzed by enzymes or dilute acids to release the reducing sugars that are fermented in to lactic acid. This review has been focussed on microbial production of lactic acid using different organic wastes as low cost substrate.
