TL;DR: The engineered PHA synthase gene was introduced into the resultant recombinant strain and confirmed the one-step biosynthesis of the LA-incorporated copolyester, P, with a number-average molecular weight of 1.9 × 105, as revealed by gel permeation chromatography, gas chromatography/MS, and NMR.

pH-uncontrolled lactic acid fermentation with activated carbon as an adsorbent
TL;DR: It was found that pH has a significant effect on the adsorption of lactic acid on AC, resulting in significant increases in both productivity and yield in a novel process involving activated carbon as an adsorbent for lactic Acid fermentation, separation and oligomerization.

Investigation of utilization of the algal biomass residue after oil extraction to lower the total production cost of biodiesel.
TL;DR: Particle analysis of a novel biodiesel-producing alga indicated that proteins and amino acids are abundant in P. ellipsoidea while the sugar content is relatively low, showing the promise of the algal biomass residue for use as a fermentation nutrient source.

TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of tri-n-decylamine (TDA) extractant in extractive lactic acid fermentation with a recombinant yeast being used was investigated and it was found that TDA contained a high concentration of 1-decylaldehyde, which was confirmed to be toxic to yeast and to have an inhibitory effect on cell growth.
