  • Publication number: 20240117389
    Abstract: The present disclosure is to provide a method capable of producing an organic acid in high yield from an acetic acid strain using synthesis gas as a substrate. According to the present disclosure, the productivity of metabolites with C2 to C6 carbon atoms derived from synthesis gas and the selectivity of hexanoic acid production among metabolites can be improved through a first fermentation step of simultaneously providing a substrate comprising synthesis gas and sugar; and a second fermentation step of semi-mixotrophic fermentation of providing only the substrate comprising the synthesis gas. Therefore, the disclosure can contribute to sustainable chemical production using synthesis gas.

  • Patent number: 11761701
    Abstract: A food inventory device having a bar code scanner and camera to add and remove inventory items to and from the inventory. The scanner may be mounted on an inventory storage container to facilitate inventory control from one or more storage devices, including refrigerators, freezers, and pantries. The inventory system may display a table listing the inventory items along with variable details. Based on the food inventory list, the inventory system may suggest recipes, display the ingredients in stock for suggested recipes, and create a shopping list of the ingredients not in stock for a desired recipe. The device may have an ordering system allowing users to order items in the storage device that have been exhausted or otherwise need to be replenished through audio or touch input. The ordering system may be connected to third-party external sites and may be based on one or more user profile settings.
