According to recent research from London, the United Kingdom, "The formation of acetate as a metabolic by-product in Escherichia coli fermentation is well known to have detrimental effects on cell growth and productivity. Various bioprocess and genetic approaches have previously been made to limit acetate accumulation, however, they tend to be conservative, limiting overall process productivity, or lead to other problems such as a decrease in maximum specific growth rate and decreased product yield on carbon."
"In this work, the utility of electrodialysis is examined as a potentially generic approach for in situ acetate removal and its impact on recombinant ...
