Lipid production from biofilms of Marinobacter atlanticus in a fixed bed bioreactor.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biotechnologies that utilize microorganisms as production hosts for lipid synthesis will enable an efficient and sustainable solution to produce lipids, decreasing reliance on traditional routes for production (either petrochemical or plant-derived) and supporting a circular bioeconomy. To realize this goal, continuous biomanufacturing processes must be developed to maximize productivity and minimize costs compared to traditional batch fermentation processes.

Results

Here, we utilized biofilms of the marine bacterium, Marinobacter atlanticus, to produce wax esters from succinate (i.e., a non-sugar feedstock) to determine its potential to serve as a production chassis in a continuous flow, biofilm-based biomanufacturing process. To accomplish this, we evaluated gro
