TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this titer represents the highest level of isopropanol production by E. coli to date and suggests that strain TA76 has a great potential for commercial fermentative isoproanol production.

TL;DR: In order to optimize the culture conditions of the QU 41 strain, the effects of pH control, temperature, neutralizing reagent, and initial glucose concentration on d-lactic acid production in batch cultures were examined and it was found that the optimal production of 20.1 g/l d- lactic acid was acquired with high optical purity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that this gene cassette has the wide applicability for cell-surface display and that cellulase-displaying yeasts have significant potential for cost-effective bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass.

TL;DR: In order to reduce acetate inhibition in the culture medium, a repeated batch culture with cell recycling was performed at a constant pH with H2 and CO2, and the total acetate production was decreased to 675 mmol/l-reactor.

TL;DR: Improved cell-to-cellulose interactions provided a novel strategy for increasing cellulose hydrolysis, suggesting a mechanism for promoting the feasibility of cellulosic biofuel production.
