Escherichia coli AFP111, a pflB, ldhA, ptsG triple mutant of E. coli W1485, can be recovered for additional succinate production in fresh medium after two-stage fermentation (an aerobic growth stage followed by an anaerobic production stage). However, the specific productivity is lower than that of two-stage fermentation. In this study, three strategies were compared for reusing the cells. It was found when cells were aerobically cultivated at the end of two-stage fermentation without supplementing any carbon source, metabolites (mainly succinate and acetate) could be consumed. As a result, enzyme activities involved in the reductive arm of tricarboxylic acid cycle and the glyoxylate shunt were enhanced, yielding a succinate specific productivity above g⁻¹(DCW)h⁻¹ and a mass yield above 0.90 g g⁻¹ in the subsequent anaerobic fermentation. In addition, the intracellular NADH of cells subjected to aerobic cultivation with metabolites increased by more than 3.6 times and the ratio of NADH to NAD+ increased from 0.4 to 1.3, which were both favorable for driving the TCA branch to succinate.

Article Synopsis
- Butanol is identified as a valuable second-generation biomass energy source, but its production faces challenges like toxicity to fermentation strains and high feedstock costs.
- The study focuses on enhancing butanol tolerance and production in the strain Clostridium beijerinckii D9 through metabolic engineering, leading to the development of a more efficient strain, D9/pykA.
- Results showed that the new strain achieved a significant increase in butanol and total solvent production compared to the original strain, with optimal conditions boosting yield and revealing mechanisms to improve fermentation efficiency.
Case Report: Osteosynthesis-associated infection with after acetabular fracture.

Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery, Herzogin Elisabeth Hospital, Braunschweig, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A rare, gram-negative, non-fermenting bacterium was identified as a potential pathogen linked to musculoskeletal infections, with a documented case found in an 80-year-old female after hip fracture surgery.
- The patient suffered from tenderness and swelling at the surgical site six months post-operation, leading to the diagnosis of an osteosynthesis-associated infection (OAI) confirmed by microbiological tests.
- Treatment involved a two-stage surgical revision and a two-month antibiotic regimen, resulting in the patient being infection-free and satisfied two years after the surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the production of d-pantothenic acid (d-PA), a crucial vitamin used in various industries, through a modified fermentation process using E. coli.
- By optimizing the fermentation medium, a significant increase in d-PA production was achieved, leading to a much higher titer.
- The research concludes that combining specific glucose feeding strategies with sodium pyruvate addition dramatically enhances d-PA synthesis, offering valuable insights for industrial applications.

Single-stage fermentation was characterized by low medium chain carboxylic acids concentrations and different mesophilic temperatures had little effect on the process performance, whereas thermophilic conditions and pH 5.5 led to lactate and ethanol accumulation. Two-stage fermentation enabled almost twofold increase in the caproate productivity, that reached 0.
