Cofactor engineering has been long identified as a valuable tool for metabolic engineering. Besides interventions targeting the pools of redox cofactors, many studies addressed the adenosine pools of microorganisms. In this mini-review, we discuss interventions that manipulate the availability of ATP with a special focus on ATP wasting strategies. We discuss the importance to fine-tune the ATP yield along a production pathway to balance process performance parameters like product yield and volumetric productivity.

Natural fluorescence as a method to monitor biofilm processes was studied, using the example of an extractive membrane bioreactor for the degradation of 3-chloro-4 methylaniline and 1,2-dichloroethane. Non-invasive, on-line, in-situ 2D fluorometry monitoring was employed to elicit biofilm process status. The fluorescence fingerprints were deconvoluted in a pattern recognition approach using artificial neural networks (ANN) through association with key process performance parameters.

The ionic conductivities of mixtures of ZnO in Na3AlF6 and in xCaF2–yNa3AlF6 mixtures were established with a swept-sine measurement technique. A millivolt sinusoidal voltage at frequencies from 1000 Hz to 25,000 Hz was impressed on a system containing the electrolytes. The system’s frequency response was used to establish the conductivities. The influence of these conductivities on the potential of a solar thermal electrolytic process was evaluated using two process performance parameters: the back-work ratio and the fraction of minimum solar thermal energy required to drive the metal production reaction. We found the conductivity of mixtures of ZnO–Na3AlF6 to be independent of the concentration of ZnO for weight percentages of ZnO from 0.5% to 5%. For temperatures 1240–1325 K the conductivity is close to that of pure Na3AlF6, 3±0.5 Ω−1 cm−1. At temperatures from 1350 K to 1425 K it jumps to 6±0.5 Ω−1 cm−1 When CaF2 is added to the mixture, the electrolyte’s conductivity drops. We thus expect that calcium cations are not present to any important extent in the electrolyte. When CaF2 is part of the chemical system, the concentration of ZnO can have a measurable impact on the electrolyte’s conductivity. Combining the conductivity results with the two solar process performance parameters illustrates the importance of operating the solar process at low current densities when the temperature range is 1200–1500 K. The results further suggest that one should consider studying the electrolytic process at 1800 K.
