Article Synopsis
- Worsening environmental issues highlight lactic acid as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
- A genetically-engineered strain of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus PeL was created to produce high yields of pure D-lactic acid, with cellobiose identified as the best sugar source for maximizing output.
- The study achieved significant D-lactic acid yields in 100- and 9,000-L fermentations using pretreated wood chip hydrolysate, marking a breakthrough in affordable and sustainable large-scale production of D-lactic acid.
