TL;DR: The soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was upgraded to a fully genome-based host for the production of MA from catechol and upstream aromatics and was successfully transferred to the pilot scale to produce kilograms of MA at 97.9% purity.

TL;DR: In this article, a one-step process for the fermentative production of L(+)-lactic acid from mixed restaurant food waste was introduced, and the results revealed a linear relationship between lactic acid concentration and solid-to-liquid ratio when Streptococcus sp. was applied.

TL;DR: In this study, the lignocellulosic residue coffee pulp was used as carbon source in fermentative l(+)-lactic acid production using Bacillus coagulans and resulted in a pure formulation containing 937gL(-1)l(+), with an optical purity of 99.7%.

TL;DR: Down-stream processing of culture broth, including filtration, electrodialysis, ion exchange chromatography and distillation, resulted in a pure lactic acid formulation containing 930gL(-1)l(+)-lactic acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a summary of the most recent studies on continuous lactic acid production and discuss potential advantages of continuous over batch mode, the improvements that high cell densities can represent, utilisation of low cost substrates and some economic aspects of continuous mode are discussed.
