The study employed batch shake flasks to evaluate the impact of various nitrogen sources, phosphate levels, and sodium acetate (Na-acetate) on the growth and metabolite production. Adding Na-acetate to the medium resulted in significant improvements in critical metabolites. In shake flask experiments, this led to a cell dry weight (CDW) of 1.

This study explored the impact of sodium acetate (Na-acetate) impact on lipid, carotenoid, and β-carotene production by the newly isolated strain . Batch and fed-batch bioreactor cultures were employed to optimize growth conditions and product yields. fed with Na-acetate in the yeast medium was evaluated in the batch bioreactor culture.

The non-linear complex relationships among the process variables in wastewater and waste gas treatment systems possess a significant challenge for real-time systems modelling. Data driven artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly being adopted to predict the process performance, cost-effective process monitoring, and the control of different waste treatment systems, including those involving resource recovery. This review presents an in-depth analysis of the applications of emerging AI tools in physico-chemical and biological processes for the treatment of air pollutants, water and wastewater, and resource recovery processes.

Article Synopsis
  • Fossil fuels contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, emphasizing the need for sustainable alternatives like biomass-derived syngas.
  • Syngas, primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is created through biomass gasification and can address environmental issues.
  • The review discusses advancements in genetic tools and metabolic engineering to enhance syngas fermentation processes, along with challenges in scaling up, microorganism interactions, and commercial viability.
