Improving ethanol productivity through self-cycling fermentation of yeast: a proof of concept
BACKGROUND The cellulosic ethanol industry has developed efficient strategies for converting sugars obtained from various cellulosic feedstocks to bioethanol. However, any further major improvements in ethanol productivity will require development of novel and innovative fermentation strategies that enhance incumbent technologies in a cost-effective manner. The present study investigates the fe...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Model of Nutrient Driven Self-cycling Fermentation Allowing Unimodal Response Functions
A system of impulsive ordinary differential equations is used to model the growth of microorganisms in a self-cycling fermentor. The microorganisms are being used to remove a non-reproducing contaminant that is limiting to growth at both high and low concentrations. Hence it is the concentration of the contaminant that triggers the emptying and refilling process. This model predicts that either...
متن کاملSelf-Cycling Fermentation Applied to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1.
The self-cycling fermentation (SCF) technique was applied to a culture of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1. This method was shown to result in synchronization of the cells, achieving a 77% improvement in cell synchrony over that of the batch case. Cellular occurrences, averaged out by asynchronous batch cultures, were magnified by the temporal alignment of metabolic events brought about by the...
متن کاملGas flow through aerogels
Aerogels have an extraordinarily large internal surface area which is accessible via open pores, making them candidates for filters and gas adsorption media. The idea is frequently included in lists of potential applications, but little research has been conducted on the use of aerogels as filters or adsorption media. Consideration of aerogels for use as aerosol collection media requires knowle...
متن کاملGas flow through clay barriers
A model for the simulation of gas flow in clayey rocks and clays is described. Gas migration is associated with the development of preferential paths along existing or pressure-dependent discontinuities. The model handles the combined phenomena of two-phase (air and liquid) flow and the generation of discrete paths. Aperture of discrete paths is the main variable to account for permeability and...
