Article Abstract
Gas fermentation enables the production of fuels, chemicals, and foods from gaseous carbon sources and could serve as a technology for valorizing carbon that may otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere. In this review, we focus on upstream feedstock considerations: the supply of carbon and the supply of electrical power. Electrical power serves a dual role, providing both process energy and biochemical redox potential (via hydrogen or reduced intermediates). We define gas fermentation as bioprocesses involving gaseous feedstocks metabolized by microbes, distinct from microbial electrosynthesis. Trends in CO point sources and low-carbon electricity systems are analyzed, highlighting opportunities and challenges for future deployment. This review synthesizes current knowledge and identifies key R&D priorities for process integration at industrial scale.

Plant biomass has emerged as a cornerstone of the global bioenergy landscape because of its abundance and cost-effectiveness. The cell wall of plant biomass is an intricate network of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose by holoenzymes converts these polymers into monosaccharides and paves the way for the production of bioethanol and other bio-based products.

Methane (CH), carbon dioxide (CO), and oxygen (O) are the major gases produced by dairy cattle as a result of rumen fermentation and metabolism, and thus, their concentrations are frequently measured as a way of estimating heat production and energy metabolism. A well-utilized method of measuring gas consumption and production to estimate heat production is indirect calorimetry, which requires bags to retain the sampled gases until analysis. The objective of this study was to determine the ability of a polyvinyl fluoride gas bag (PF) and a multilayer fabrication gas bag containing an aluminum layer (NAP) to maintain respiratory gas composition in comparison to a polyethylene terephthalate bag (PET).

This study presents a biopreservation method using sourdough co-fermented with Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis and Propionibacterium freudenreichii, optimizing conditions to 220 hydration and 24 h fermentation. The composite sourdough bread quality was evaluated through physicochemical, storage, sensory, and microbial tests, with mechanisms analyzed based on microstructure, rheology, and dough structure. Results showed that: first, the composite sourdough enhanced bread physicochemical properties, increasing volume, height-to-diameter ratio, elasticity, and resilience, while reducing baking loss, hardness, chewiness, and adhesiveness.

In the present study, cockles were utilized as the raw material to investigate how different salt concentrations and fermentation periods influence the physicochemical indices, microbial community shifts, and volatile flavor components of cockle paste. Through the analysis of volatile flavor substances via GC-IMS, a total of 77 volatile flavor compounds were identified, among which aldehydes accounted for the largest proportion. High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing was applied to decode the composition of dominant microbiota in the cockle paste samples.

Breast milk is rich in bioactive proteins and oligosaccharides, including osteopontin (OPN) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), which are believed to promote the growth of beneficial microbiota and regulate intestinal barrier function. In this study, fermentation substrates including DOPN (digested OPN fragment), 2'-FL and their combinations in varying proportions, were prepared through in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, dialysis and freeze-drying. Changes in gas production, organic acid levels, ammonia N concentration and bacterial population abundance were studied using an in vitro batch fermentation model, with feces inocula from healthy infants.
