Peter Clauwaert,Maarten Muys,Abbas Alloul,Jolien De Paepe,Amanda K. Luther,Xiaoyan Sun,Chiara Ilgrande,Marlies Christiaens,Xiaona Hu,Dongdong Zhang,Ralph E.F. Lindeboom,Ralph E.F. Lindeboom,Benedikt Sas,Korneel Rabaey,Nico Boon,Frederik Ronsse,Danny Geelen,Siegfried E. Vlaeminck,Siegfried E. Vlaeminck +18 more
TL;DR: In this review, an overview is given of the different essential processes and technologies that enable closure of the nitrogen cycle in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS).

Microbial Protein out of Thin Air: Fixation of Nitrogen Gas by an Autotrophic Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacterial Enrichment.
Xiaona Hu,Frederiek-Maarten Kerckhof,Justien Ghesquière,Kristel Bernaerts,Pascal Boeckx,Peter Clauwaert,Nico Boon +6 more
TL;DR: MP from N2-fixing HOB could potentially be produced in situ without entailing the emissions caused by ammonia production and transportation by conventional means because it has 70% higher protein content and double energy conversion efficiency from solar energy to biomass.

Enriched hydrogen-oxidizing microbiomes show a high diversity of co-existing hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria
Elham Ehsani,Charles Dumolin,Jan Arends,Frederiek-Maarten Kerckhof,Xiaona Hu,Peter Vandamme,Nico Boon +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that enrichments on hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide as sole carbon and energy sources contain a diverse mixture of HOB and heterotrophs that resulted in a collection of culturable isolates that can be useful for further investigation for industrial applications.

Co-cultivation enhanced microbial protein production based on autotrophic nitrogen-fixing hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of binary cocultures for the production of safe protein was studied based on the isolates from a previously enriched community and their metabolism, and the results showed that the coculture had a similar biomass yield but superior protein quality.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview is given of the different essential processes and technologies that enable closure of the nitrogen cycle in Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSS), and bottlenecks are identified at the integrated system level.
