When the sta6 (starch-null) strain of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is
nitrogen starved in acetate and then “boosted” after 2 days with additional acetate, the cells …

One of the major bottlenecks in lactic acid production using microbial fermentation is the
detrimental influence lactic acid accumulation poses on the lactic acid producing cells. The …

Weak organic acids are naturally occurring compounds that are commercially used as
preservatives in the food and beverage industries. They extend the shelf life of food products …

Improving the growth phenotypes of microbes in high product concentrations is an essential
design objective in the development of robust cell factories. However, the limited knowledge …

Acetate is a major byproduct of the bioconversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide,
pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass, and microbial fermentation. The utilization and …

To meet the demands of future generations for chemicals and energy and to reduce the
environmental footprint of the chemical industry, alternatives for petrochemistry are required …
