MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411076157 A) filed by Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Oct. 8, 2024, for 'method for enhancing lipid production in bacterial strain using xylose for biodiesel applications.'
Inventor(s) include Deepshikha Pande Katare; Sugandha Asthana; Preeti Mehta Kakkar; Ruchi Jakhmola Mani; and Aarti Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses method for enhancing lipid production in bacterial strain using xylose for biodiesel applications. The present invention describes a method for enhancing the production of lipids in Bacillus velezensis Strain 24 (Accession No. ON680948.1) using xylose as the primary carbon source for biodiesel applications. By optimizing the carbon-to-sodium and carbon-to-chloride ratios, the method increases lipid production without compromising biomass growth. The extracted lipids consist primarily of hexadecanoic acid and oleic acid, and the biodiesel produced from these lipids meets international biofuel standards. The method provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for converting agricultural waste (xylose) into high-quality biofuels."
