Publication number: 20230398487Abstract: The invention provides for the optimal utilization of gas by a fermentation process, whereby the various components within the gas stream are separated to increase the efficiency of the microorganisms. The invention is capable of tailoring the composition of the gas being used by the fermentation process so as to enhance the production of various products. The invention is capable of applying such controlled separation and utilization of gas to produce different products in two fermentation processes in series. The invention is also capable of applying such controlled separation and utilization of gas to produce one product in a first fermentation process, which may be converted to a different product in a second fermentation process. The invention is additionally capable of mitigating culture inhibition.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Allan Haiming Gao, Robert John Conrado, Sebastian Michal Bernasek, Michael Anthony Schultz

Patent number: 11111510Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems for the production of lipid products from a gaseous substrate using a two stage fermentation process. The method comprises providing a gaseous substrate comprising CO, CO2 or H2 or mixtures thereof, to a first bioreactor containing a culture or one or more microorganisms, and fermenting the substrate to produce acetate. The acetate from the first bioreactor is then provided to a second bioreactor, where it is used as a substrate for fermentation to lipids by one or more microalgae.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignees: LanzaTech New Zealand Limited, DBT-IOC Centre for Advanced Bio-Energy ResearchInventors: Sean Dennis Simpson, Sebastian Michal Bernasek, Deepak K Tuli
