Beet red food colourant can be produced more sustainably with engineered Yarrowia lipolytica.

Synthetic food colourants are widely used in the food industry, but consumer concerns about safety and sustainability are driving a need for natural food-colour alternatives. Betanin, which is extracted from red beetroots, is a commonly used natural red food colour. However, the betanin content of beetroot is very low (~0.

High-titer and productivity of l-(+)-lactic acid using exponential fed-batch fermentation with arr4, a new thermotolerant bacterial strain.

arr4 is a thermotolerant microorganism with great biotechnological potential for l-(+)-lactic acid production from granulated sugar and yeast extract. The highest l-(+)-lactic acid production was obtained with Ca(OH). The maximum production of l-(+)-lactic acid (206.
