Acetate represents a promising alternative carbon source for future industrial biotechnology. In this study, the high potential of Corynebacterium glutamicum for utilizing acetate as sole carbon source was demonstrated. Batch culture studies revealed that C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 naturally exhibits high acetate tolerance with maximum growth rates (µ = 0.47 h) similar to those on D-glucose. Based on a simple and auto-regulated pH-coupled feeding strategy which utilizes bio-acetic acid in pure form, a novel and high-efficient fed-batch process was developed in a 42 L stirred-tank bioreactor. By optimizing the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) feeding ratio, maximum biomass concentrations of 80.2 g/L were achieved with a space-time yield of 66.6 g/L·d. In addition, a process model was implemented describing the time-courses of biomass growth and substrate concentrations. This is the first study in which an industrial platform organism was grown to high cell densities using green, lignocellulosic acetate as an alternative carbon source.

Farming practices such as soil tillage, organic/mineral fertilization, irrigation, crop selection and residues management influence multiple ecosystem services provided by agricultural systems. These practices exhibit complex, non-linear interrelationships that affect crop productivity, water quality, and non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, possibly offsetting their benefits regarding soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Current methodologies from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for assessing the impacts of alternative farming practices on GHG emissions rely on global or country-specific coefficients.

Kombucha is a popular fermented beverage that involves fermentation using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) and produces bacterial cellulose (BC). Carbon and nitrogen sources are essential in kombucha processing and BC production. However, studies on cost-effective BC production as an alternative source of leather have remained scarce.

Genome-scale metabolic models (GSMM) are commonly used to identify gene deletion sets that result in growth coupling and pairing product formation with substrate utilization and can improve strain performance beyond levels typically accessible using traditional strain engineering approaches. However, sustainable feedstocks pose a challenge due to incomplete high-resolution metabolic data for non-canonical carbon sources required to curate GSMM and identify implementable designs. Here we address a four-gene deletion design in the Pseudomonas putida KT2440 strain for the lignin-derived non-sugar carbon source, p-coumarate (p-CA), that proved challenging to implement.
