Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and processes for recycling biogenic CO2. A system includes an aquacultural reservoir (102) configured to contain water (108) and aquatic animals (110) that live therein; a separation stage (104) in fluid communication with the aquacultural reservoir, wherein the separation stage is configured to receive water from the aquacultural reservoir and separate biogenic CO2 gas (114) from the water; and a fermentation tank (106) in gas communication with the separation stage, wherein the fermentation tank is configured to receive and convert the biogenic CO2 into biomass (126) by fermentation. The produced biomass can be used to cultivate the aquatic animals in the aquacultural reservoir.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for recycling gas in a reactor. An example of gas-recycling system comprises: a housing, a gas conduit, and a powered propeller. The housing encloses a gas space and a liquid space, wherein the gas space is configured to collect gas within a reactor. The powered propeller comprises a shaft having an upper end and a lower end; and a plurality of radial blades connected to the lower end of the shaft. Upon rotation of the powered propeller, the powered propeller is configured to: generate a suction to cause the collected gas to flow from the gas space to the liquid space through the conduit; cause fluid of the reactor to flow in a direction from the upper end of the shaft to the lower end of the shaft; and mix the liquid and the collected gas proximate the powered propeller.

Abstract: Reactors, systems and processes for the production of biomass by culturing microorganisms in aqueous liquid culture medium circulating inner loop reactor which utilize nonvertical pressure reduction zones are described. Recovery and processing of the culture microorganisms to obtain products, such as proteins or hydrocarbons is described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microorganism growth substrate which comprises a sterile nutrient composition derived from the biomass of a culture of bacteria including methanotrophic bacteria and further containing at least one sterile nutrient. A preferred biomass material is that derived from a microbial culture comprising Methylococcus capsulates (Bath) (strain NCIMB 41526), Ralstonia sp. DB3 (strain NCIMB 41527) and Brevibacillus agri DB5 (strain NCIMB 41525), optionally in combination with Aneurinibacillus sp. DB4 (strain NCIMB 41528).

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for imparting improved functional properties to a single-cell protein material, said process comprising the step of homogenizing an aqueous slurry of the single-cell protein, e.g, a single-cell protein material derived from fermentation on natural gas. The resulting homogenized protein material has excellent functional properties and finds particular use in the preparation of food products, for example as a gelling agent or emulsifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use as an immunostimulant of a composition comprising biomass derived from a methanotrophic bacterium-containing culture. The immunostimulatory effect of this biomass material renders this particularly suitable for use in preventing disease or conditions in an animal body which are associated with, caused by, or otherwise contributed to by any exogenous foreign material, e.g. a pathogenic microorganism. A preferred biomass for use in the invention is that derived from a microbial culture comprising Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) (strain NCIMB11132), DB3 (strain NCIMB 13287) and DB5 (strain NCIMB13289), optionally in combination with DB4 (strain NCIMB13288).
