Itaconic acid (IA) has a high potential to be used as a bio-based platform chemical and its biocatalytic production via fermentation has significantly improved within the last decade. Additionally downstream processing using reactive extraction (RE) was described, potentially enabling a more efficient sustainable bioprocess producing IA. The bottleneck to overcome is the connection of up- and downstream processing, caused by lack of biocompatibility of the RE systems and direct application to fermentation broth. Within this study, a biocompatible RE system for IA is defined (pH dependency, extraction mechanism) and used for direct application to a fermentation broth. By optimizing the biocatalyst, the production medium, and the extraction system in an integrated approach, it was possible to define critical parameters that enabled a tuning of the overall bioprocess. With an extraction yield of = 0.80 ± 0.03, IA could be produced as sole carboxylic acid ( = 0.490 mol/kg) using a RE system consisting of ethyl oleate as organic solvent and tri--octylamine as extractant ( = 0.6 mol/kg). This work is a proof of concept and demonstrates that by joint consideration of up- and downstream processing, optimized bioprocesses can be developed.

As Streptomycetes might produce melanin to survive in stressful environmental conditions, like under metal exposure, supplementing metal ions to the growth medium could be a wise strategy for boosting the production of the pigment. The aim of this study was to test, for the first time, the possibility of boosting DSM40314 melanin biosynthesis by adding to the growth medium singularly or, at the same time, different concentrations (1.0, 1.

Protocatechuate acid (PCA) is a phenolic acid naturally synthesized by various organisms. Protocatechuic acid is synthesized by plants for physiological, metabolic functions, and self-defense, but extraction from plants is less efficient compared to the microbial culture process. The microbial synthesis of protocatechuic acid is sustainable and, due to its high yield, can save energy consumption when producing the same amount.

Caproic acid has broad applications and can be produced from activated sludge via fermentation, but its quality is hindered by ammonia (NH-N) and reactive phosphorus (RP) in the fermentation broth. However, flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI), a novel ion separation technology that operates continuously without secondary pollution seems to be an efficient process that separates the ions. The results showed that at pH 5.
