Abstract:
Biomanufacturing hygiene control in batch and fed-batch bioreactors is provided using a bioreactor employing a chlorite/Cld system, wherein the bioreactor comprises an engineered cultured cell expressing a recombinant cytoplasmic chlorite dismutase (cCld) sufficient to increase chlorite resistance of the cell, and chlorite sufficient to substantially inhibit growth of one or more contaminating microorganisms in the bioreactor yet not substantially inhibit growth of the cell.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods of controlling the sulfide (S2−) content in systems, such as oil and gas reservoirs and pipelines, by the use of chlorine oxyanions and microorganisms with (per)chlorate-reducing activity.

Abstract:
Methods of reversibly altering the rock hydrology in systems, such as oil reservoirs, by inducing authigenic mineral-precipitating bacteria to produce authigenic rock mineral.
Abstract:
Aerobic microbial processes comprise culturing microbes comprising a (per)chlorate respiration pathway in a bioreactor in a bioprocess employing microbial respiration of chloroxyanions as a source of oxygen for the bioprocess, in the absence of external addition of molecular oxygen.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to recombinantly engineered cells that contain a chlorite dismutase polypeptide and methods for culturing such cells in a culture medium containing chlorite in an amount sufficient to reduce the growth rate or kill contaminating microorganisms without killing the recombinantly engineered cells. Also provided are methods for the production of a fermentation product using the recombinantly engineered cells.
