Cover Story: Acetogenic bacteria can fix CO and CO2 from waste streams into more complex and valuable products. However, bioconversion with sugar monomers from hydrolysis of plant-based waste offers another opportunity to create carbon circularity. Combining both autotrophic (CO) and heterotrophic (D-xylose) substrate utilization with Clostridium ragsdalei in a scalable stirred tank bioreactor with continuous gassing resulted in an improved synthesis of the novel product (2S)-hydroxyisovalerate (2-HIV), a monomer attractive for the synthesis of bioplastics. Simultaneous D-xylose and CO consumption decreased the release of carbon as CO2, making the mixotrophic process design attractive for climate-friendly, sustainable production of 2-HIV.

Serial Re-Pitching of Yeast Impacts Final Flavor Profiles of Commercial Beer

  • Fina Beth Nelson,
  • Joshua Pickering,
  • Casey Murray and
  • Christopher Eskiw

The aroma-active compounds produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the fermentation of wort are key to the unique aroma and flavour profiles of beer. In commercial fermentations, there is batch-to-batch variation depending on yeast “brewing...

Effect of Different Partial Pressures on H2 Production with Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius DSM 6285

  • Magda Stephania Ardila,
  • Habibu Aliyu,
  • Pieter de Maayer and
  • Anke Neumann

The ability of Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius to produce H2 from CO via the water–gas shift (WGS) reaction makes it a compelling microorganism for biofuels research. Optimizing this process requires evaluating parameters such as pressure....

HOM2 Deletion by CRISPR-Cas9 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Decreasing Higher Alcohols in Whiskey

  • Jiaojiao He,
  • Haoyang Zhou,
  • Jine Liang,
  • Kadireya Tuerxun,
  • Zhuoling Ding and
  • Shishui Zhou

In typical whiskey, the content of higher alcohols is about 1500–2000 mg/L, leading to a high intoxicating degree (ID). To produce low-ID whiskey, Saccharomyces cerevisiae XF0-h, XF0-H and XF0-LH were successfully constructed by CRISPR-Cas9 gen...

Effect of Mixed Culture and Organic Loading Rate over Butanol Production from Biodiesel Waste in an Upflow Packed-Bed Reactor

  • Cristina Aglaia Alves Tottoli e Silva,
  • Maria Ângela Tallarico Adorno,
  • Filipe Vasconcelos Ferreira and
  • Guilherme Peixoto

In this study, an upflow anaerobic packed-bed reactor (UAPB) produced biobutanol from the main byproduct of biodiesel plants, commonly known as glycerol. Currently, butanol production is mostly limited to pure cultures and sterilized feedstocks. Usin...
