  • Publication number: 20260258458
    Abstract: A method of producing amino acids by fermentation in a bioreactor, wherein the bioreactor includes methanogenic microorganisms in a fermentation broth, the method including at least the step of feeding a gaseous carbon source including carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide, a nitrogen source including nitrogen gas and a sulfur source to the bioreactor under conditions such that the methanogenic microorganisms produce the amino acids, wherein the fermentation broth includes ammonium at a concentration of 0.1 mmol/L to 200 mmol/L is disclosed. Preferred methanogenic microorganisms are e.g. archaea selected from Methanothermobacter, Methanothermococcus and Methanococcus.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20250382644
    Abstract: A method of producing amino acids by fermentation in a bioreactor is disclosed, wherein the bioreactor includes methanogenic microorganisms in a fermentation broth, the method including at least the steps of feeding a gaseous carbon source including carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide, a nitrogen source and a sulfur source to the bioreactor under conditions such that the methanogenic microorganisms produce the amino acids; and harvesting at least a portion of the amino acids from the supernatant of the fermentation broth. Preferred methanogenic microorganisms are e.g. archaea selected from Methanothermobacter, Methanothermococcus and Methanococcus. Also provided is a fermentation broth comprising methanogenic microorganisms and amino acids in the supernatant, and a bioreactor including the same.

  • Patent number: 11619260
    Abstract: A bearing (1) is provided, comprising an inner sleeve (6), an outer sleeve (2), and an elastomer body (24), which resiliently interconnects the inner sleeve (6) and the outer sleeve (2), wherein the outer sleeve (2) comprises a circumferential portion (8) and at least one deformation portion (10) that is recessed radially inwards from the circumferential portion (8), and wherein the deformation portion (10) comprises a support-surface portion (12) arranged so as to be offset radially inwards relative to the circumferential portion (8) of the outer sleeve (2), wherein the support-surface portion (12) extends substantially perpendicularly to the radial direction (Ra). A method for producing a bearing is also provided.
