  • High yield lactic acid production using mixed cultures
    Patent number: 11390892
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of a method of producing lactic acid in high yield in a sequencing batch reactor. Therein glucose may be used as feedstock for bacteria, which ferment the glucose into lactic acid. The reactor is operated under at least partly defined non-axenic conditions and in a cyclic mode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2022
    Assignee: NATURE'S PRINCIPLES B.V.
    Inventors: Julius Laurens Rombouts, Marinus Cornelius Maria Van Loosdrecht, Robbert Kleerebezem, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Gerben Stouten, Maximilienne Toetie Allaart

  • Process for producing a microbial storage compound
    Patent number: 10041095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a microbial storage compound, in particular polyhydroxyalkanoate, using micro-organisms capable of accumulating such microbial storage compound, wherein such micro-organisms are selected and the microbial storage compound is accumulated by carrying out the so-called feast phase of the selection step and the accumulation of the microbial storage compound in selected micro-organisms in the same reactor and carrying out the so-called famine phase of the selection step in a separate, smaller, reactor.
    Type: Grant
