✦ Synopsis

The application of integrated fermentation and product recovery continues to be improved for products such as ethanol, acetone and butanol. An extractive fermentation process for ethanol has now been scaled up and is approaching commercialization. Integrated fermentation process design is expanding into higher value materials, such as amino acids, plant cell products and antibodies. The general concept of selective partitioning of molecules between an aqueous and second (organic) phase has also been successfully applied to controlled substrate addition.
