Metabolic engineering is transforming *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* into highly efficient biofuel factories by systematically redesigning its central metabolism to redirect carbon flux away from native pathways toward advanced fuels like hydrocarbons and isoprenoids.
This article reviews advanced, sustainable methods—including supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and the use of green solvents like ionic liquids—for efficiently extracting lipids from microalgae. These techniques enhance selectivity, reduce environmental impact, and improve overall process efficiency compared to traditional methods.
The axon is the specialized output cable of the neuron, responsible for transmitting electrical signals (action potentials) to other cells. Its structure, particularly the myelin sheath, is crucial for rapid and efficient signal conduction.
This article explores advanced metabolic engineering strategies, focusing on optimizing cofactor regeneration and improving industrial scalability for bioproduction processes.
This article details the critical operational considerations for maintaining high-density cell cultures in perfusion bioreactors, focusing on process monitoring, control strategies, and the role of Process Analytical Technology (PAT).
The increasing demand for sustainable industrial biocatalysts necessitates novel enzyme discovery methods beyond traditional culturing. Metagenomics offers a high-throughput solution by sequencing total environmental DNA, allowing researchers to mine the genetic potential of unculturable microbial communities for industrial enzymes.
The need for non-invasive, continuous monitoring techniques capable of quantifying metabolic fluxes in real time is critical for enabling dynamic process control and maximizing bioproduct yield in bioprocesses.
Modular biomanufacturing platforms offer a paradigm shift from fixed infrastructure to flexible, scalable systems, addressing the bottlenecks of traditional bioprocessing by enabling rapid, on-demand scale-up and reducing capital expenditure.
Metabolic engineering leverages microbial biosynthesis to convert renewable biomass into high-value chemicals, moving away from petrochemical feedstocks. CRISPR-Cas systems provide unprecedented precision for optimizing these complex pathways by enabling targeted gene knockout, insertion, and transcriptional regulation.
