EZ Select Attracts Undesirables to Benefit Biomanufacturing
A frothy stout, a hearty loaf of bread, a pungent cheese; each the stuff of life, each created by naturally occurring microorganisms. Defined universally as brewing, baking and caseiculture (OK, cheese making), they are examples of what, today, we call biomanufacturing. While you may not… Read More

Separations Consortium Researchers Demonstrate that Ester Bioproducts May Represent “Greener” Metabolic Targets Than Their Commonly Produced Carboxylic Acid Counterparts
Separations often account for the majority of operational costs and energy consumption in the production of bioproducts. Accordingly, judicious development of new separations technology can direct the development of an entire bioprocess. In this publication researchers from the separations consortium demonstrate that ester bioproducts may… Read More

Separations Consortium Researchers Publish Manuscript Detailing in situ Product Recovery
Separations Consortium Biochemical Team researchers co-authored a recently published article in Green Chemistry detailing in situ product recovery, which minimizes solvent loss and enhances productivity through toxin removal. The authors report a liquid liquid extraction-based system integrated with downstream separations to recover free carboxylic acids, exemplary bioproducts. The researchers also… Read More
