Assignee:

Joule Unlimited Technologies, Inc. - Bedford MA

International Classification:

C12P 1/00

US Classification:

435 41, 4352921

Abstract:

The invention described herein relates to photobioreactors, methods, assembly and use of such apparatus for culturing light-capturing organisms in a cost-effective manner. Various embodiments provide for a passive thermal regulation system employing selected microorganisms in a photobioreactor apparatus and methods for biological production of various fuel and chemical products from these organisms. Additional embodiments provide a solar biofactory system capable of culturing light capturing organisms to an areal productivity of 3. 3 g/m2/hr. Further embodiments are directed to a photobioreactor capable of culturing light capturing organisms to an ODof about 14 g/L DCW. Such embodiments incorporate passive thermal regulation and systems.

Assignee:

Vedanta Biosciences, Inc. - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

C12N 1/04
C12N 1/20

Abstract:

The disclosure provides methods and compositions for the preservation of bacteria. Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods of preparing a preserved bacterial composition comprising flash freezing a bacterial composition and lyophilizing the flash frozen bacterial composition to produce a preserved bacterial composition. In some embodiments, the bacterial composition comprises one or more bacterial strains. In some embodiments, the one or more bacterial strains comprise one or more anaerobic bacterial strains. In some embodiments, the anaerobic bacterial strains are strict anaerobic bacteria.
