A new review traces biomachining from its 1996 origins to current laboratory applications, finding that microbe-assisted metal removal works but faces major barriers to industrial scale-up. Subject of Research: A review of biomachining, a manufacturing method that uses microbial metabolism to…
A new review argues that pairing cheap waste substrates with statistical and AI-driven optimization could finally make microbial biosurfactants economically competitive with synthetic surfactants. Waste-Fed Microbes and Smart Statistics Could Cut Biosurfactant Costs Subject of Research: A review of statistical…

Oxygen is a stubborn bottleneck in industrial fermentation. When the yeast Komagataella phaffii is grown to very high cell densities to produce recombinant proteins, its appetite for oxygen can outstrip what the bioreactor can deliver, because oxygen dissolves poorly in…
Phosphorylation with sodium tripolyphosphate raised the solubility of macadamia protein isolate from about 14 percent to nearly 97 percent and enabled the modified protein to stabilize 80 percent oil emulsions for 30 days. Subject of Research: Phosphorylation of macadamia protein isolate to improve solubility…
Yeast has been used for thousands of years in the production of beer and wine and for adding fluff and flavor to bread. They are nature's tiny factories that can feed on sugars found in fruit and grains and other…
State tax credits totaling about $11.1 million have been awarded to five Northern Colorado industrial projects as part of a $13.9 million statewide investment aimed at reducing industrial pollution and improving air quality. The Colorado Energy Office announced the awards Wednesday through…
The EVERY Company and Huvepharma have announced a major manufacturing expansion that will quadruple production capacity for precision-fermented egg protein OvoPro, as commercial demand for the ingredient continues to accelerate across retail, foodservice, and B2B channels. The expanded agreement builds on…
Europe’s food system faces growing climate and supply chain risks Climate pressures, price volatility, and supply uncertainty are driving demand for alternatives to conventional oils and fats. France-based Techbio firm Smey combines AI, yeast discovery, and fermentation to develop lipids…
Companies developing yeast-derived fats and other food ingredients should consider patent protection across their production processes, according to a new analysis from Mathys & Squire examining the commercial development of yeast-based food technology. Published on October 16 for World Food Day, the…
