The study evaluated the response of an enriched microbial culture on 2,6-dihydroxybenxoic acid (2,6-DHBA) and peptone mixture at low sludge age (theta(X)) under aerobic conditions. It emphasized the effect of culture history by comparing the response of the microbial culture sustained at identical conditions but at two different theta(X) of 2 and 10 days. The fate and impact of continuous 2,6-DHBA addition were evaluated by means of changes induced on the oxygen uptake rate profiles. The acute impact of 2,6-DHBA drastically changed with the culture history. It only inhibited the utilization of the readily biodegradable COD fraction but maintained the overall stoichiometry of substrate removal at a theta(X) of 2 days, while blocking microbial activity with only partial substrate utilization when the theta(X) was 10 days. After four days of continuous 2,6-DHBA feeding, the microbial culture was acclimated providing simultaneous removal for peptone and 2,6-DHBA. The acclimation period was apparently a function of the theta(X) and it was shorter than 10 days. Evaluation of the oxygen uptake rate profiles indicated that acclimation resulted in the development of a dual microbial community with the selective growth of another group of biomass equipped with the enzymatic tools for utilizing 2,6-DHBA as an organic carbon source.

Vitamin B (cobalamin, herein B) is a key cofactor for most organisms being involved in essential metabolic processes. In microbial communities, B is often scarce, largely because only few prokaryotes can synthesize B and are thus considered B-prototrophs. B-auxotrophy is mostly manifested by the absence of the B-independent methionine synthase, MetE.

Microorganisms adapted to high hydrostatic pressures at depth in the oceans and within the subsurface of Earth's crust represent a phylogenetically diverse community thriving under extreme pressure, temperature, and nutrient availability conditions. To better understand the microbial function, physiological responses, and metabolic strategies at conditions requires high-pressure (HP) continuous culturing techniques that, although commonly used in bioengineering and biotechnology applications, remain relatively rare in the study of the Earth's microbiomes. Here, we focus on recent developments in the design of HP chemostats, with particular emphasis on adaptations for delivery and sampling of dissolved gases.

Cell-based meat (CBM) technology is a highly promising alternative to traditional animal agriculture, with considerable advantages in terms of sustainability, animal welfare, and food security. Nonetheless, CBM's successful commercialization is dependent on efficiently dealing with several critical concerns, including ensuring biological, chemical, and nutritional safety as well as navigating the global regulatory framework. To ensure CBM's biological safety, detecting and mitigating any potential hazards introduced during the manufacturing process is crucial.

Maximizing saccharification efficiency of lignocellulose and minimizing the production costs associated with enzyme requirements are crucial for sustainable biofuel production. This study presents a novel semi-fed-batch saccharification method that uses a co-culture of and strain A9 to efficiently break down high solid-loading lignocellulosic biomass without the need for any external enzymes. This method optimizes saccharification efficiency and enhances glucose production from alkaline-treated rice straw, a representative lignocellulosic biomass.
