Comparative Analysis of Bioreactor Design and Scale‐Up for Cultivated Meat Using Monte Carlo‐Based Timescale Modeling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated meat offers a sustainable alternative to conventional livestock production but faces significant scale‐up challenges, particularly in bioreactor design for mammalian cell suspension cultures. This study presents a comparative analysis of stirred tank reactors (STR), bubble columns (BC), and airlift reactors (ALR) to assess their ...

Immobilization of Alginate Microbeads With Whole‐Cells Expressing Nitrilase for Continuous Nicotinic Acid Production in Chip Millireactor

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biocatalytic production of nicotinic acid using nitrilases has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional chemical synthesis, offering improved selectivity and environmental sustainability. In this study, we developed a continuous‐flow millireactor system employing Escherichia coli cells expressing a nitrilase from Paraburkholderia

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Biotic modulators of global change effects on plant communities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and predicting future plant biodiversity and productivity is critical for prioritizing global change mitigation, conservation, and restoration efforts. One major challenge is that we know remarkably little about how interspecific interactions may modulate the effects of global change factors on diversity and productivity.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...
