Automated fast filtration and on‐filter quenching improve the intracellular metabolite analysis of microorganismsEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 135-142 - 2014
Julian A. da Luz, Enrico Hans, An‐Ping Zeng
To reliably determine intracellular metabolite concentrations in microorganisms,
accurate sampling and sample inactivation strategies are crucial. Here, we
present a method for automated fast filtration and on‐filter quenching of
microbial samples to overcome metabolite leakage induced by cold shock and
significantly reduce the sampling and treatment time compared to manual
filtration methods. The... hiện toàn bộ
Improved electrocompetence and metabolic engineering of Clostridium pasteurianum reveals a new regulation pattern of glycerol fermentationEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 412-422 - 2019
Rebekka Schmitz, Wael Sabra, Philipp Arbter, Yaeseong Hong, Tyll Utesch, An‐Ping Zeng
AbstractClostridium pasteurianum produces industrially valuable chemicals such
as n‐butanol and 1,3‐propanediol from fermentations of glycerol and glucose.
Metabolic engineering for increased yields of selective compounds is not well
established in this microorganism. In order to study carbon fluxes and to
selectively increase butanol yields, we integrated the latest advances in genome
editing to ... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolomic and kinetic investigations on the electricity‐aided production of butanol by Clostridium pasteurianum strainsEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 21 Số 3-4 - Trang 181-195 - 2021
Philipp Arbter, Wael Sabra, Tyll Utesch, Yaeseong Hong, An‐Ping Zeng
AbstractIn this contribution, we studied the effect of electro‐fermentation on
the butanol production of Clostridium pasteurianum strains by a targeted
metabolomics approach. Two strains were examined: an electrocompetent wild type
strain (R525) and a mutant strain (dhaB mutant) lacking formation of
1,3‐propanediol (PDO). The dhaB‐negative strain was able to grow on glycerol
without formation of P... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of anaerobic digestion on digestate nutrient availability and crop growth: A reviewEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 242-257 - 2012
Kurt Möller, Torsten Müller
Anaerobic digestion (AD) for biogas production leads to several changes in the
composition of the resulting digestates compared to the original feedstock
(ammonia content, pH, carbon to nitrogen ratio, etc.), which are relevant for
the plant availability of macro‐ and micronutrients after field application.
Increased NH4+‐N content in digested slurries compared to undigested slurries
does not guar... hiện toàn bộ
Centrifugal Flotation Applied to the Separation of Oil and Fat from WastewaterEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 61-65 - 2003
Bernd Benker, A. Wollmann, M. Sievers
New flotation devices such as flotation cyclones and flotation centrifuges have
successfully been demonstrated for the beneficiation of coal. In this project a
flotation centrifuge developed for that purpose was modified and applied to the
treatment of wastewater from a food processing plant containing emulgated oil
and fat. The cleaning efficiency of the flotation centrifuge was determined by
the... hiện toàn bộ
bletl ‐ A Python package for integrating BioLector microcultivation devices in the Design‐Build‐Test‐Learn cycleEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 22 Số 3-4 - Trang 242-259 - 2022
Michael Osthege, Niklas Tenhaef, Rebecca Zyla, Carolin Müller, Johannes Hemmerich, Wolfgang Wiechert, Stephan Noack, Marco Oldiges
AbstractMicrobioreactor (MBR) devices have emerged as powerful cultivation tools
for tasks of microbial phenotyping and bioprocess characterization and provide a
wealth of online process data in a highly parallelized manner. Such datasets are
difficult to interpret in short time by manual workflows. In this study, we
present the Python package bletl and show how it enables robust data analyses

Influence of carbon and nitrogen concentration on itaconic acid production by the smut fungus Ustilago maydisEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 129-134 - 2014
Nicole Maaßen, Monika Maasem Panakova, Nick Wierckx, Elena Geiser, Martín Zimmermann, Michael Bölker, Ulrich Klinner, Lars M. Blank
Itaconic acid is a valuable platform compound for the production of bio‐based
polymers, chemicals, and fuels. Ustilago maydis is a promising host for the
production of itaconic acid from biomass‐derived substrates due to its
unicellular growth pattern and its potential to utilize biomass‐derived sugar
monomers and polymers. The potential of U. maydis for industrial itaconate
production was assesse... hiện toàn bộ
Screening of bacterial strains capable of converting biodiesel‐derived raw glycerol into 1,3‐propanediol, 2,3‐butanediol and ethanolEngineering in Life Sciences - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 57-68 - 2012
Maria Metsoviti, Spiros Paramithiotis, Eleftherios H. Drosinos, Maria Galiotou‐Panayotou, George‐John E. Nychas, An‐Ping Zeng, Séraphim Papanikolaou
AbstractThe ability of bacterial strains to assimilate glycerol derived from
biodiesel facilities to produce metabolic compounds of importance for the food,
textile and chemical industry, such as 1,3‐propanediol (PD), 2,3‐butanediol (BD)
and ethanol (EtOH), was assessed. The screening of 84 bacterial strains was
performed using glycerol as carbon source. After initial trials, 12 strains were
