Global warming and decreasing fossil fuel reserves have prompted great interest in the
synthesis of advanced biofuels from renewable resources. In an effort to address these …

Genetically modified microbes have had much industrial success producing protein-based
products (such as antibodies and enzymes). However, engineering microbial workhorses for …

Abstract In ancient Chinese philosophy, Yin-Yang describes two contrary forces that are
interconnected and interdependent. This concept also holds true in microbial cell factories …

Corynebacterium glutamicum has been successfully employed for the industrial production
of amino acids and other bioproducts, partially due to its native ability to utilize a wide range …

Efficient co‐utilization of mixed sugar feedstocks remains a biomanufacturing challenge,
thus motivating ongoing efforts to engineer microbes for improved conversion of glucose …

Electromicrobial production (EMP) processes, in which electricity or electrochemically-
derived mediator molecules serve as energy sources to drive biochemical processes …

This work studies the conceptual design of a Reactive Distillation (RD) process for isobutyl
acetate production by esterification of acetic acid and isobutanol. Static and reactive residue …

Background Fermentative production of butanol is limited to low concentrations, typically
less than 2 wt% solvent, due to product inhibition. The result is high separation energy …

This work studies the non-reactive phase equilibria for the quaternary system Acetic acid-
Isobutanol-Isobutyl acetate–Water. Initially, a comprehensive revision and collection of …

This paper discusses the use of 13 C-based metabolism analysis for the assessment of
intrinsic product yields—the actual carbon contribution from a single carbon substrate to the …
