An increasing number of industrial bioprocesses capitalize on living cells by using them as
cell factories that convert sugars into chemicals. These processes range from the production …

To ensure the long-term viability of biorefineries, it is essential to go beyond the
carbohydrate-based platform and develop complementing technologies capable of …

Kinetic models are critical to predict the dynamic behaviour of metabolic networks.
Mechanistic kinetic models for large networks remain uncommon due to the difficulty of fitting …

Hydrogen (H 2) is an effective, environmentally friendly and renewable source of fuel that
can be produced during dark-and photo-fermentation by different facultative and obligate …

Background In comparison with phototrophic growth, heterotrophic conditions can
significantly increase growth rates, final cell number and cell mass in microalgae cultures …

As an inevitable by-product of the biofuel industry, glycerol is becoming an attractive
feedstock for biorefinery due to its abundance, low price and high degree of reduction …

Rational engineering of metabolism is important for bio-production using microorganisms.
Metabolic design based on in silico simulations and experimental validation of the metabolic …

Hydrogen (H 2) is a clean, effective and renewable fuel which can be produced by different
methods including biological ones, namely fermentation and biophotolysis. To improve …

Escherichia coli uptake hydrogenase 2 (Hyd-2) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of H2 to
protons and electrons. Hyd-2 synthesis is strongly upregulated during growth on glycerol or …

H2 has a great potential as an ecologically-clean, renewable and capable fuel. It can be
mainly produced via hydrogenases (Hyd) by different bacteria, especially Escherichia coli …
