In situ adsorption of itaconic acid from fermentations of Ustilago cynodontis improves bioprocess efficiency | Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Reducing the costs of biorefinery processes is a crucial step in replacing petrochemical products by sustainable, biotechnological alternatives. Substrate costs and downstream processing present large potential for improvement of cost efficiency. The implementation of in situ adsorption as an energy-efficient product recovery method can reduce costs in both areas. While selective product separation is possible at ambient conditions, yield-limiting effects, as for example product inhibition, can be reduced in an integrated process. An in situ adsorption process was integrated into the productio...
