Ionic liquids (ILs) constitute a new generation of solvents entirely composed of ions. ILs are
usually considered as green solvents due to their negligible vapor pressure and other …

Methane is an essential component of the global carbon cycle and one of the most powerful
greenhouse gases (GHGs), yet it is also a rich source of carbon and energy. Methanotrophs …

Background Product toxicity is one of the bottlenecks for microbial production of biofuels,
and transporter-mediated biofuel secretion offers a promising strategy to solve this problem …

Accumulation of alkane by-products from gas to liquid fuel processes presents an attractive
feed stock opportunity with potential for bioconversion to a wide variety of valuable …

This study demonstrates the applicability of pressurized stirred tank bioreactors for oxygen
transfer enhancement in aerobic cultivation processes. The specific power input and the …

Slow growth and relatively low cell densities of methanotrophs have limited their uses in
industrial applications. In this study, a novel method for rapid cultivation of Methylosinus …

Industrially relevant bioprocesses such as paraffin activation present a complex multiphase
system consisting of an aqueous growth medium and an immiscible alkane phase that is …

Oxygenation is an important parameter involved in the design and operation of mixing–
sparging bioreactors and it can be analyzed by means of the oxygen mass transfer …

The low solubility of oxygen in solution is the main obstacle for the biodegradation of organic
pollutants in wastewater. To address this problem, inspired by the degradation mechanism …

The surfactin produced by Bacillus subtilis has great potential in enhanced oil recovery,
agriculture and bio-mediation. Its further applications, however, are restrained by its low …
