This work assessed the intrinsic ability of <i>C. curvatum</i> and <i>Y. lipolytica</i> to produce high amounts of microbial oils from these unusual carbon sources. Results demonstrated that minor differences in SCFA concentration (only 2 g/L) had a significant effect on yeast growth and lipid production.

The different SCFA uptake preferences in <i>C. curvatum</i> and <i>Y. lipolytica</i> highlighted the importance of considering the SCFA profile to select a suitable yeast strain for microbial oils production. At the most challenging SCFA concentration (19 g/L), 57.2% ±1.6% (w/w) and 78.4 ± 0.6% (w/w) lipid content were obtained in <i>C. curvatum</i> and <i>Y. lipolytica</i>, respectively.

Biotoxicity of pharmaceutical active compounds is first prescribed to gain deep insight into how membranes can remove pharmaceutical active compounds from wastewater. Then, the behavior of the diffusion mechanism can be concisely determined using mass transfer factor model that represented by β and B with value up to 2.004 g h mg<sup>-1</sup> and 1.833 mg g<sup>-1</sup> for organic compounds including pharmaceutical active compounds. The model refers to the adsorption of solute to attach onto acceptor sites of the membrane surface, external mass transport of solute materials from the bulk liquid to the membrane surface, and internal mass transfer to diffuse a solute toward acceptor sites of the membrane surface with evidenced up to 0.999. Different pharmaceutical compounds have different solubility and relates to the membrane hydrophilicity properties and mechanisms. Ultimately, challenges and future recommendations have been presented to view the future need to enhance membrane performance regarding fouling mitigation and recovering compounds.
