| Summary: | Environmental concerns like plastic pollution and energy crises drive sustainable biopolymer and bioelectricity development. Biomass conversion, especially from macroalgae, addresses climate change. This study optimized L-LA production from Eucheuma denticulatum phycocolloid (EDP) via biotechnological routes and a microfluidic microbial fuel cell platform. High yields of D-galactose and L-LA were achieved using innovative ozonolysis and fermentation methods. A techno-economic analysis showed efficient production with integrated processes, making EDP a viable biomass for L-LA and bioelectricity co-production. |
