Biocompatible fluorocarbon liquid underlays for <i>in situ</i> extraction of isoprenoids from microbial cultures
Sebastian Overmans, Kyle J. Lauersen
Abstract
A novel bioprocess to capture and purify terpenoids produced by engineered microbes using 2-phase cultivation of the algae with liquid perfluorocarbons followed by liquid–liquid extraction of the terpenoids with ethanol.
