Researchers have sequenced and characterized a novel thermophilic cyanobacterium isolated from a hot spring in Namibia, revealing how it adapts to extreme heat through temperature responsive protein expression. Cultivated using the INFORS HT Labfors bench-top bioreactor, the strain proposed to represent a new genus within the Thermosynechococcaceae family displayed distinct genomic and proteomic features linked to thermotolerance. These findings expand our understanding of extremophile adaptation and highlight promising targets for future bioengineering and high temperature biotechnological applications.

In this application note, Enzyferm AS compares bioreactor and shaking flask systems for high-temperature aerobic propagation of Kveik yeast. Using the INFORS HT Minifors 2 and Multitron Standard, the study evaluates ease of use, process control, and reproducibility when working with single- and multi-strain cultures at. The results highlight how system choice impacts robustness and consistency in demanding fermentation conditions.

As demand for sustainable food sources surges, Daisy Lab is revolutionizing dairy production with precision fermentation technology. By using INFORS HT bioreactors, this New Zealand-based startup is producing animal-free milk proteins like whey and casein. Discover how the innovative process at Daisy Labs, now set to scale with EPA approval, is paving the way for a more sustainable future in dairy.

Stefan Sperling is an industrial designer at the Meyer-Hayoz Design Engineering Group in Switzerland. He is part of the specialist team who was responsible for designing the award-winning INFORS HT Minifors 2 as well as the Multitron and Minitron. In this interview, Mr. Sperling shares his view on what constitutes good product design.
