  • Patent number: 10100338
    Abstract: A process is provided for fermentation of syngas that is effective for reducing conductivity and providing an alcohol STY of about 10 g ethanol/(L·day). The process includes introducing the syngas into a reactor vessel and providing a nitrogen feed rate to the reactor vessel of about 100 mg or more nitrogen/gram of cells produced. Fermentation of the syngas is effective for providing a fermentation medium having an average conductivity of about 16 mS/cm or less and an STY of 10 g ethanol/(L·day) or more.

  • Patent number: 10087474
    Abstract: A fed-batch fermentation method is for production of bacteriochlorophyll a (Bchla) from Rhodovulum sulfidophilum. The growth medium contains an inorganic nitrogen compound as a nitrogen source. During fermentation, the growth medium is supplemented with a succinate carbon source, an inorganic compound nitrogen source and a phosphorous source from external reservoirs connected to the fermenter vessel. After completion of the fermentation, Bchla is recovered from the separated cells.

  • Patent number: 10047381
    Abstract: There is described a method for producing 3-hydroxypropanal, the method comprising: culturing an Acetobacter lovaniensis bacterium in a growth medium containing phosphate at a level which is more than 1 g/liter and nitrate at a level which is more than 0.1 g/liter, wherein culturing of the bacterium produces the 3-hydroxypropanal. The 3-hydroxypropanal can be separated from the growth medium or, when the microorganism has converted some or all of the 3-hydroxypropanal to 3-hydroxypropionic acid and/or a 3-hydroxypropionate ester, it may be separated as 3-hydroxypropionic acid or a 3-hydroxypropionate ester. The separated product can be converted into other chemicals such as an ester of 3-hydroxypropionic acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, 3 -hydroxypropionate salts (including ammonium, sodium and calcium 3-hydroxypropionate), acrylic acid, acrylates, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, acrolein and 1,3 propanediol.
