Lactic Acid Production Using Sweet Potato Processing Waste
… starch) that could be used as substrates for the production of useful compounds via fermentation (e.g. lactic acid), resulting in the production of value-added products. The goal of this research project is to produce a substrate from the sweet potato processing waste material that supports the …

Characterization of a thermostable amidase and development of a bioreactor process for lactic acid production
… of a continuous reactor process for the production of a target product. The amidase was cloned and over-expressed in E. coli BL21 strain pNH 223 pLySs by Cameron (2001). Earlier work by Cameron (2001) on the production and purification of the recombinant amidase showed that the enzyme …

The Fermentation of Cheese Whey by Lactobacilius helvecticus
The lactic acid fermentation of cheese whey permeate by Lactobacillus helveticus was studied. Precipitate formation during autoclaving of whey permeate was examined. Precipitation was found to be pH and temperature dependent. Qualitative analysis suggested that the precipitate was a …

Production of lactic acid by microbial fermentation of hemicellulose sugars
Lactic acid (2-hydroxypropionic acid) is an organic acid which has wide applications in food feed, pharmaceutical industries as well as producing polylactic acid, which is a biodegradable material. Lactic acid is commercially produced by microbial fermentation from starchy materials. Converting …

Acidification in the Rat Proximal Jejunum
Acidification of solutions by rat proximal jejunum was investigated in everted sacs, segments and in perfused in vivo loops. Acidification which declines down the jejunum, increased with increasing mucosal glucose concentration, reaching a maximal value. Derived Michaelis-Menten data gave an …

Optimising the Wider Energy Metabolome of Microbes Using Targeted UHPLC-MS/MS Present in Bio-Electrochemical Systems for Carbon Dioxide Conversion to Platform Chemicals
… intracellular redox state and platform chemical production. Application of the method to S. cerevisiae and E. coli showed that timed environmental and nutritional interventions can significantly reshape redox balance and energy status, leading to improved ethanol and lactate production without …

Normal Glycolytic Enzyme Activity Is Critical For Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1A Activity and Provides Novel Targets For Inhibiting Tumor Growth
… by a high rate of glycolysis followed by lactic acid fermentation in a process known as the Warburg Effect, a process many times less efficient than oxidative phosphorylation employed by normal cells to satisfy a similar energy demand <sup>[1]</sup>. This high rate of glycolysis occurs …

Optically pure D (-) lactic acid biosynthesis from diverse renewable biomass: microbial strain development and bioprocess analysis
Lactic acid is an important platform chemical that has long history and wide applications in food, polymer, pharmaceutics and cosmetic industries. Lactic acid has two optical isomers; namely D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid. Racemic mixture of lactic acid are usually used as preservatives and …
