Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for devices, methods for separating particles, and the like. In general, embodiments of the present disclosure include non-uniform magnetic field-assisted processes and devices for the separation of particles (e.g., cells) within a magnetic fluid. Under non-uniform magnetic fields, particles such as cells can experience the generated magnetic field direction to produce a magnetic buoyancy force, analogous to buoyancy force, as magnitude of the force is proportional to the volume of cell. This force can be used to spatially separate cells of different sizes. In some embodiments, devices for separating particles are provided having a magnetic device configured to direct a non-uniform magnetic force onto the magnetic fluid and the particles; and a plurality of outlets, wherein the non-uniform magnetic force causes the types of particles to be separated and flow into different outlets.

Abstract: The present invention provides cells that are metabolically engineered for formation and accumulation of a hexose or other glucose-6P or fructose-6P metabolite, as well methods for making said cells and methods for forming and isolating the hexose or other metabolite.

Abstract: Microbial production of pyruvate and metabolites derived from pyruvate in cells exhibiting reduced pyruvate dehydrogenase activity compared to wild-type cells. Acetate and glucose are supplied as a carbon sources.

Abstract: Biological method for conversion of a lignocellulosic hydrolysate into a desired biochemical product. Use of a plurality of substrate-selective cells allows different sugars in a complex mixture to be consumed concurrently and independently. The method can be readily extended to remove inhibitory compounds from hydrolysate.

Abstract: Metabolic engineering is used to increase the carbon flow toward oxaloacetate to enhance production of bulk biochemicals, such as lysine and succinate, in industrial fermentations. Carbon flow is redirected by genetically engineering the cells to overexpress the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase.
