França, Alexandre S. (author), Brêda, Gabriela C. (author), De Oliveira, Kleber T. (author), Almeida, Rodrigo V. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), de Souza, Rodrigo O.M.A. (author)A visible-light-driven photocatalytic decarboxylation of palmitic acid and related fatty acids is described in this study. Remarkable decarboxylation rates have been observed with full conversion in less than 20 min. In this study, we have<br/>demonstrated that sunlight irradiation, even on cloudy days, can deliver similar results to traditional...journal article 2023

Benincá, Luiza A.D. (author), França, Alexandre S. (author), Brêda, Gabriela C. (author), Leão, Raquel A.C. (author), Almeida, Rodrigo V. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), de Souza, Rodrigo O.M.A. (author)The fatty acid photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis NC64A (CvFAP) promotes the elimination of CO<sub>2</sub> from fatty acids (C<sub>n</sub>) producing the corresponding hydrocarbon (<sub>Cn-1</sub>). Therefore, this enzyme is of great biotechnological interest since it can be used in alternative biofuel production routes matching the...journal article 2022
