  • Method for Recovery of Organic Components from Dilute Aqueous Solutions
    Publication number: 20130017587
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering an organic component from an aqueous medium such as a fermentation broth containing microorganism producing said organic component. The method includes increasing the activity of the organic component in the aqueous medium by increasing the concentration of at least one hydrophilic solute in the medium leading to salting-out of the organic component. The microorganisms are genetically modified to be capable of tolerating higher concentrations in the medium in comparison to their unmodified counterparts.
