Abstract:
The present disclosure describes biocatalytic processes for producing a product, comprising providing an aqueous stream (AS) comprising at least one fermentable substrate and a gaseous stream (GS) comprising at least one of CO 2 /H 2 , H 2 , methane, and/or CO to a fermentation zone, wherein the GS and AS stream are optionally contacted and/or mixed; the fermentation zone comprising at least one organism capable of metabolizing an AS substrate and a GS substrate, wherein the fermentation operates at conditions to mixotrophically metabolize at least one gaseous substrate in the GS and at least one substrate in the AS, producing the product. The present disclosure also describes compositions comprising an AS, a GS, and an organism, wherein the organism or an equivalent or engineered equivalent thereof is a methanotroph or a hydrogen-metabolizing or CO-metabolizing chemolithotrophic organism, and wherein the organism is capable of mixotrophic metabolism of at least one gaseous substrate in the GS and at least one substrate in the AS. The present disclosure also describes a process wherein said fermentation operates at conditions to mixotrophically metabolize at least H 2 in the gaseous stream and glycerol and lactic acid in the aqueous stream. The present disclosure also describes a system for producing a fermentation or bio-derived product.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid using a β-ketoacyl synthase or a β-keioihiolase to form an N-acetyl-5-amino-3- oxopentanoyl-CoA intermediate. 7-aminoheptanoic acid can be enzymatieally converted to pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof. This document also describes recombinant microorganisms producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid as well as pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof.

Also provided are synthetic fibers of a first fiber forming polymer, a spin assist additive, and optionally a pigment additive, as well as articles of manufacture such as yarns, carpets and fabrics made up of these synthetic fibers.
Abstract:
Systems and processes are described herein for drying polyamide pellets. The system can include a spin dryer that removes a majority of surface water from wet polyamide pellets to generate partially dried pellets. The system can also include a fluid bed dryer that dries and transports the partially dried pellets from the spin dryer to produce dried polyamide pellets.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for recovering water from a condensation reaction of at least one carboxylic acid and at least one diamine to make polyamide. The method can include obtaining, from an evaporator, an aqueous mixture comprising a partially polymerized polyamide and at least one of a carboxylic acid and diamine; passing the aqueous mixture through a tubular reactor comprising subjecting the aqueous mixture to a temperature and pressure sufficient to further polymerize the partially polymerized polyamide by condensation of the carboxylic acid and diamine, thereby producing water having a substantially gaseous phase; passing the water having a substantially gaseous phase into a rectification column thereby removing one or more of a diamine, a carboxylic acid and polyamide to provide purified water having a substantially gaseous phase; and condensing the purified water having a substantially gaseous phase into purified water having a substantially liquid phase. The system can include, among other things, a tubular reactor, a rectification column, a condensation assembly, and a conduit network.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on enzymes or homologs accepting methyl ester shielded dicarboxylic acid substrates.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the fatty acid synthesis pathway and oxidative cleavage of long chain acyl-[acp] intermediates by a monooxgenase (e.g., cytochrome P450) such as that encoded by BioI from microorganisms such as Bacillus subtillis .
