Article Synopsis
- Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation can produce bio-based 1-butanol from agricultural byproducts, which are low-cost and available year-round, addressing the issue of high feedstock costs in bio-butanol production.
- Milling byproducts like wheat red dog (WRD) and rye second flour (RSF) were found to contain high levels of glucan, primarily starch, making them suitable substrates for ABE fermentation by solventogenic clostridia.
- The strain Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 performed the best in producing butanol, achieving titers up to 9 g/L in semi-continuous fermentation with a combination of WRD and rye waste,
Cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass (LB) is of increasing interest for the production of commodity chemicals. However, its use as substrate for fermentations is a challenge due to its structural complexity. In this context, the highly cellulolytic Clostridium cellulovorans has been considered an interesting microorganism for the breakdown of LB.

Sepsis is a highly heterogeneous syndrome with distinct phenotypes that impact immune function and response to infection. To develop targeted therapeutics, immunophenotyping is needed to identify distinct functional phenotypes of immune cells.

This effect, as induced by exogenously supplied IAA, served as the foundation stone for root growth regulation. For decades, auxin ruled the day and only allowed hormonal side players to be somehow involved, or in some way affected.

However, the lack of a physiological pulse predisposes to side-effects including uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), and there are little data regarding the impact of CF-LVADs on BP regulation.
Methods: Twelve patients (10 males, 60±11 years) with advanced heart failure completed hemodynamic assessment 2.
