Biological production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid from glycerol

Biological production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid from glycerol Prof. Sunghoon Park Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering, UNIST, Korea     3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is an attractive platform chemical that has diverse applications in the chemical industries for paint, polymer, and consumer products. It can be synthesized chemically or biologically, but its commercial production has not been realized due to many technical challenges. We have studied a biological process for last ~15 years and succeeded in its efficient production on 100 L pilot-scale as represented by a high titer (>100 g/L), rate (>3 g/L/h), and yield (>0.95 mol/mol glycerol or >0.7 mol 3-HP carbon/mol substrate carbon). The work includes the selection of proper host microorganisms, optimization of gene expression, enzyme engineering, deletion of competing and 3-HP degradation pathways, optimization of energy and cofactor metabolisms, transport, adaptive evolution, etc. The study was collaborated with a paint company in Korea, and commercialization including process development and scale-up is now underway. This lecture summarizes and discusses our long journey with 3-HP....

Anisotropic Behaviors of Multi-Pass Caliber-Rolled Mg Alloy

Taekyung Lee(School of Mechanical Engineering, Pusan National University, Korea) Multi-pass caliber-rolled Mg alloys possess a unique basal texture with split basal poles that are in contrast to alloys subjected to other plastic deformation processes. The intrinsic nature of texture development allows anisotropic material properties, which are...

Mechanical Sensors and Energy Harvesters for Environmental Monitoring

Abstract Multi-functional materials that can convert one form of energy to another have drawn immense attention owing to their outstanding conversion efficiency and compatibility with CMOS semiconductor devices. Specifically, piezoelectric materials, which can be patterned in nano-thin-film or nano-particle forms, are suited for sensors, and actuators...
