Abstract
Biofuels are expected to play a major role in reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector globally. Farnesane ("2,6,10-trimethyldodecane") is a biofuel derived from the synthesized iso-paraffin route wich can be blended with jet fuel; however, the microbial behavior in farnesane/jet fuel blends remains unknown. The chemical and biological stability of blends should be investigated to ensure they meet the quality requirements for aviation fuels. This work aimed at evaluating the behavior of two fungi Hormoconis resinae (F089) and Exophiala phaeomuriformis (UFRGS Q4.2) in jet fuel, farnesane, and in 10% farnesane blend during simulated storage. Microcosms (150-mL flasks) were assembled with and without fungi containing Bushnell & Haas mineral medium for 28 days at a temperature of 20±2°C. The fungal growth (biomass), pH, surface tension, and changes in the fuel's hydrocarbon chains were evaluated. This study revealed thatthe treatment containing H. resinae showed a biomass of 19 mg, 12 mg, and 2 mg for jet fuel, blend, and farnesane respectively. The pH was reduced from 7.2 to 4.3 observed in jet fuel treatment The degradation results showed that compounds with carbon chains between C9 and C11, in jet fuel, and blend treatments were preferably degraded. The highest biomass (70.9 mg) produced by E. phaeomuriformis was in 10% farnesane blend, after 21 days. However, no significant decrease was observed on pH and surface tension measurements across the treatments as well as on the hydrocarbons when compared to the controls. This study revealed that farnesane neither inhibited nor promoted greater growth on both microorganisms.

Abstract
Organotin compounds are applied in several industrial reactions and can present antifungal and antibacterial activities. Incorrect handling and storage practices of biodiesel and diesel-biodiesel blends can lead to microbial development, impacting its final quality. Concerning this problem, this work investigated the antimicrobial action of two organotin catalysts used in biodiesel production with four isolated microroorganisms (Bacillus pumilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudallescheria boydii, and Aureobasidium pullulans) and a pool of microorganisms (ASTM E1259 standard practice). Samples of soybean biodiesel with different concentrations of dibutyl tin dilaurate (catalyst 1) and di-n-butyl-oxo-stannane (catalyst 2) were prepared and added of mineral medium. The pool of microorganisms was inoculated and incubated at 30 °C and final biomass was weighted after 14 days. Thereafter, soybean biodiesel with catalyst 2 was used. Fungal biomass was weighted, and plate count was used to assess bacterial growth. Results show that catalysts 1 and 2 presented no inhibitory activity on the pool of microorganisms evaluated. A slight inhibitory activity was observed for B. pumilus and A. pullulans growth, but not for P. boydii, P. aeruginosa, or the pool of microorganisms. All experiment exhibited acidification higher than sterile control. Infrared analysis show less microbiological degradation products in the tin-protected fuel with ASTM inoculum. These results suggest that these tin-based catalysts show no toxic effect on native microbial population and a slight effect on some isolated microbial population in laboratory scale and for the first time shows that these organotin compounds can be employed safely as biodiesel catalyst.

Abstract
Due to their renewable and sustainable nature, biodiesel blends boost studies predicting their stability during storage. Besides chemical degradation, biodiesel is more susceptible to biodegradation due to its raw composition. The aim of this work was to evaluate the deteriogenic potential (growth and degradation) of Pseudallescheria boydii and Meyerozyma guilliermondii in degrading pure diesel (B0), pure biodiesel (B100), and a B10 blend in mineral medium during storage. The biodeterioration susceptibility at different fuel ratios and in BH minimal mineral medium were evaluated. The biomass measurements of P. boydii during 45 days indicated higher biomass production in the B10 blend. The growth curve of M. guilliermondii showed similar growth in B10 and B100. Although there was no significant production of biosurfactant, lipase production was detected in the tributyrin agar medium of both microorganisms. The main compounds identified in the aqueous phase by GC-MS were alcohols, esters, acids, sulfur, ketones, and phenols. The results showed that P. boydii grew at the expense of fuels, degrading biodiesel esters, and diesel hydrocarbons. M. guilliermondii grew in B100 and B10; however, degradation was not detected.
