Featured Article May 2025: Method for automated high performance closed batch cultivation of gas-utilizing methanogens

To advance the utilization of microbial cell factories in gas fermentation processes, their physiological and biotechnological characteristics must be understood. Here, the authors report on the construction and operation of a novel device, the Gas and Pressure Controller (GPC), which is specifically designed for the automated control of the headspace gas pressure of closed cultivation bottles and facilitates automated gassing, sparging, monitoring and regulation of the headspace volume operated in closed batch cultivation mode in real time.

Applied Microbiology Mini-reviews

Mini-reviews are summaries of recent insights or advances in specific research areas. This collection features all the mini-reviews published in AMB Express and provides a great account of important issues in the field of applied and industrial microbiology.

Aims and scope

AMB Express is a high quality journal that brings together research in the area of Applied and Industrial Microbiology with a particular interest in 'White Biotechnology' and 'Red Biotechnology'. The emphasis is on processes employing microorganisms, eukaryotic cell cultures or enzymes for the biosynthesis, transformation and degradation of compounds. This includes fine and bulk chemicals, polymeric compounds and enzymes or other proteins. Downstream processes are also considered. Integrated processes combining biochemical and chemical processes are also published.

Reports on the use of new procedures or tools in a clinical setting are only considered for publication if microorganisms, viruses, enzymes or other proteins from microorganisms or metabolites of microorganisms are involved as crucial and central part of the new procedure or tool.
