  • BIOCONVERSION PROCESSES USING WATER-INSOLUBLE LIQUIDS
    Publication number: 20140106420
    Abstract: Processes are disclosed for bioconversion processes in which a ME biocatalyst is surrounded by water-insoluble liquid during the bioconversion to facilitate one or more of mass transfer of substrate to and bioproduct from the biocatalyst and the separation and recovery of bioproduct from the water-insoluble liquid. The ME biocatalyst irreversibly retains microorganisms for the bioconversion and has, in its interior, an aqueous environment.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: April 17, 2014
    Applicant: Microvi Biotech, Inc.
    Inventors: Fatemeh RAZAVI-SHIRAZI, Mohammad Ali DORRI, Ameen RAZAVI
  • ENHANCED EFFICIENCY ETHANOL AND SUGAR CONVERSION PROCESSES
    Publication number: 20130337517
    Abstract: Overlay processes are disclosed for making ethanol that not only increase ethanol conversion but do so in a cost effective manner with a reduction in energy requirements per unit of ethanol production. The processes can provide, if desired, higher organic compound as a co-product with ethanol.
    Type: Application

  • NOVEL BIOCATALYST COMPOSITIONS AND PROCESSES FOR USE
    Publication number: 20130337518
    Abstract: The microorganism-containing biocatalysts disclosed have a large population of the microorganisms irreversibly retained in the interior of the biocatalysts. The biocatalysts possess a surprisingly stable population of microorganisms and have an essential absence of debris generation from metabolic activity of the microorganisms. The biocatalysts are composed of highly hydrophilic polymer and have an internal, open, porous structure that promotes community phenotypic changes.

  • Biological permeable barrier to treat contaminated groundwater using immobilized cells
    Patent number: 6337019
    Abstract: A method of removing contaminates from ground water is provided which places a biological permeable barrier in the path of the ground water flow to contact the contaminated groundwater with encapsulated microorganisms which act to decontaminate the contacted groundwater.
    Type: Grant
