Mechanistic understanding of mixed-culture fermentations by metabolic modelling
(2020)Biorefineries are set to become an important agent in the shift towards a circular economy due to their potential to valorise organic wastes into marketable products. Anaerobic fermentations yielding volatile fatty acids ... -
Metabolic modeling for predicting VFA production from protein‐rich substrates by mixed‐culture fermentation
(Wiley, 2020-01)Proteinaceous organic wastes are suitable substrates to produce high added‐value products in anaerobic mixed‐culture fermentations. In these processes, the stoichiometry of the biotransformation depends highly on operational ... -
Modelling the production of VFA from proteins by mixed culture fermentations
(2019-06)Mixed-culture fermentations (MCF) are recognised as a valid process to yield added-value products from organic wastes in the form of volatile fatty acids (VFA). The use of mixed cultures is attractive due to their economical ... -
Steering the conversion of protein residues to volatile fatty acids by adjusting pH
(Elsevier, 2021)This study investigates the influence of pH on protein conversion into volatile fatty acids by anaerobic mixed-culture fermentation, a topic that, in contrast to glucose fermentation, only had scarce and contradictory ... -
Targeted conversion of protein and glucose waste streams to valatile fatty acids by metabolic models
(2019-10)Mixed-culture fermentations are recognised as suitable processes to valorise organic wastes and convert them into added-value products. One of the main issues of these processes is that the stoichiometry of the fermentations ...
