Perspectives for Advancing Biotechnological Succinic Acid Production

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Succinic acid is an important molecule for sustainable chemical manufacturing, but its industrial production faces high costs and sustainability challenges, which are linked to feedstocks and excessive acid/base consumption. This opinion explores production routes based on next‐generation feedstocks and low‐pH fermentations to inspire novel cost ...

Purification and characterization of a thermophilic NAD+‐dependent lactate dehydrogenase from Moorella thermoacetica

FEBS Open Bio
Oxidation of lactate under anaerobic dark fermentative conditions poses an energetic problem. The redox potential of the lactate/pyruvate couple is too electropositive to reduce the physiological electron carriers NAD(P)+ or ferredoxin.

Emerging Technologies for Biobutanol Production via Syngas Fermentation

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biobutanol production from syngas is promising but limited by microbial energy conservation and gas–liquid mass transfer. This review integrates advances in cultivation control and bioreactor engineering with next‐generation biological tools including metabolic rewiring, co‐cultivation and chain elongation, and electro‐fermentation to enable carbon ...

Advancement in Anaerobic Digestion for Scaling‐Up Biogas Production Through Food Waste Valorization

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
The review article begins with an introduction that covers the overview, food waste (FW) classification, and the steps involved in producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). Following that, it describes the process for producing biogas, including single‐, two‐, and multistage systems, mesophilic and thermophilic digestion, and wet and dry ...

Robust Performance of Sub‐Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion Enabled by Microbial Functional Redundancy

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
We tested whether anaerobic digesters could operate at lower temperatures without losing methane production. Pilot‐scale reactors were run at 48°C or 55°C. Methane yields and gas quality were similar. Lower temperatures reduced volatile fatty acids and supported more diverse microbial communities.

Pathway engineering and synthetic biology using acetogens [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2012
Acetogenic anaerobic bacteria are defined as organisms employing the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway to synthesize acetyl‐CoA from CO2 or CO. Their autotrophic mode of metabolism offers the biotechnological chance to combine use of abundantly available substrates with reduction of greenhouse gases.

Volumetric mass transfer and dilution rate as key parameters for sustainable industrial syngas fermentation to isopropyl alcohol: modeling and parametric assessment

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 473-486, March/April 2026.
Abstract Synthesis gas fermentation is a promising route for the valorization of steel mill off‐gas and for replacing conventional fossil‐based isopropyl alcohol (IPA) production. A recent 120 L pilot‐scale study reported 85% gas conversion at 90% product selectivity and claimed a negative global warming potential (GWP) without detailed process design.

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Reductive acetogens isolated from ruminants and their effect on in vitro methane mitigation and milk performance in Holstein cows

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2020
This study was designed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effects of reductive acetogens isolated from ruminants on methane mitigation, and milk performance, respectively. Four acetogens,

Careful CO Addition Enhances Autotrophic d‐Lactate Formation With Engineered Acetobacterium woodii

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The acetogen A. woodii efficiently converts CO2 and H2 to acetate. Metabolic engineering enabled the autotrophic production of non‐native products, for example, d‐lactate from CO2 by overexpression of d‐lactate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides and knockout of the native lactate dehydrogenase. During gas fermentation with acetogens,
