Biotechnological Products and Process Engineering

Hydrogen gas (∼60% H2) was produced in a continuous flow bioreactor inoculated with heat-treated soil, and fed synthetic wastewater containing glucose (9.5 g l). The pH in the bioreactor was maintained at 5.5 to inhibit consumption of H2 by methanogens. The objective of this study was to characterize bacterial communities in the reactor operated under two different hydraulic retention times (HR...

An Untapped Market

The current female donor base consists of three segments: those who have benefited from the advances in women's athletics in the post-Title TX era, those athletes from the pre-Title TX era, and those who may have never par6cipated in sports or attended the ins6tuLion, but are interested in college athletics. In all three of these market segments, athletic departments need to fully appreciate th...

Nanotechnology: An Untapped Resource for Food Packaging

Food commodities are packaged and hygienically transported to protect and preserve them from any un-acceptable alteration in quality, before reaching the end-consumer. Food packaging continues to evolve along-with the innovations in material science and technology, as well as in light of consumer's demand. Presently, the modern consumers of competitive economies demands for food with natural qu...

Yeast metabolic chassis designs for diverse biotechnological products

The diversity of industrially important molecules for which microbial production routes have been experimentally demonstrated is rapidly increasing. The development of economically viable producer cells is, however, lagging behind, as it requires substantial engineering of the host metabolism. A chassis strain suitable for production of a range of molecules is therefore highly sought after but ...
