Production of propionic acid by fermentation of propionibacteria has gained increasing attention in the past few years. However, biomanufacturing of propionic acid cannot compete with the current oxo-petrochemical synthesis process due to its well-established infrastructure, low oil prices and the high downstream purification costs of microbial production. Strain improvement to increase propion...

scratched the fungal colonies around the incision. The organisms adhered to the tip of the injector nozzle when IOL was inserted, resulting in the intraocular infection. Slit lamp biomicroscopy showed cyclitic membranes around the superior corneal incision linking to the surface of IOL, which correspond to the pathogenic mechanism. Interestingly, the presentation of intraocular inflammation in ...
