  • Patent number: 10889793
    Abstract: A fermenter can have at least one hollow fluid conduit disposed at least partially within a vessel. An external circumference of the hollow fluid conduit and an interior circumference of the vessel can define a downward flow path through which a multi-phase mixture including a liquid media and compressed gas substrate bubbles flows. An interior circumference of the hollow fluid conduit can defined an upward flow path which is in fluid communication with the downward flow path. The multi-phase liquid can flow through the upward flow path and exit the fermenter. Cooling may be provided in the hollow fluid conduit or the vessel. One or more backpressor generators can be used to maintain a backpressure on the fermenter. One or more fluid movers can be used to variously create an induced and/or forced flow in the downward and upward flow paths.

  • Publication number: 20200205440
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for improving accumulation of one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids in an animal through the use of a boosted feed composition comprising polyunsaturated fatty acids and a bacterial biomass (e.g., methylotrophic, methanotrophic, or both), wherein the animal that is fed and consumes the boosted feed composition accumulates the one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids more efficiently than when fed a reference feed composition lacking the bacterial biomass.
