The products from the enzymatic beta-D-galactopyranosylation of 1D-chiro-inositol, 1D-pinitol, 1D-3-O-allyl-4-O-methyl-chiro-inositol, 1D-3,4-di-O-methyl-chiro-inositol, 1L-chiro-inositol and myo-inositol in combined yields ranging from 46% to 64% have been obtained using the beta-galactosidase isolated from an anaerobic extreme thermophile, Thermoanaerobacter sp. strain TP6-B1 and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside as the donor. Analysis of the products from these reactions reveals information about the acceptor preferences of the enzyme.

Thermophilic acetogens are gaining recognition as potent microbial cell factories, leveraging their unique metabolic capabilities to drive the development of sustainable biotechnological processes. These microorganisms, thriving at elevated temperatures, exhibit robust carbon fixation abilities via the linear Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to efficiently convert C substrates, including syngas (CO, CO and H) from industrial waste gasses, into acetate and biomass via the central metabolite acetyl-CoA. This review summarizes recent advancements in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology efforts that have expanded the range of products derived from thermophilic acetogens after briefly discussing their autotrophic metabolic diversity.

We recently proposed a two-stage Power-to-Protein technology to produce microbial protein from renewable electric power and CO. Two stages were operated in series: Clostridium ljungdahlii in Stage A to reduce CO with H into acetate, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Stage B to utilize O and produce microbial protein from acetate. Renewable energy can be used to power water electrolysis to produce H and O.
