TLDR
By nurturing yeast cultures in alcohols or sugars instead of gas-oil or n-paraffins, this biosynthetic route produces single-cell protein products at ultrahigh cell densities, eliminating the need for handling waste or recycle streams.

Strategies for improving fermentation medium performance: a review

TL;DR: Many techniques are available in the fermentation medium designer’s toolbox (borrowing, component swapping, biological mimicry, one-at-a-time, statistical and mathematical techniques—experimental design and optimization), and considerable advantage can be gained by logical application of the techniques, combined with good experimental design.

Biotechnology development in India: Some policy issues☆

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on issues of policy rather than on the chemistry of bioconversion, focusing on information needs on: (1) physico-chemical properties and composition of indigenous lignocellulosic substrates; (2) substrate-specific pretreatment procedures; (3) indigenous stock of microflora; (4) organizing germ plasm resource pool for experimental development of new and potent strains having industrial applications; (5) biotechnology process plant engineering and instrumentation capability development and (6) continuous dissemination of inter-and intrad
