This study compares reactor configurations for lactate production from acid whey, finding that a CSTR with a hollow-fiber membrane module achieved the highest conversion efficiency and rate.

This study identifies operational conditions to steer microbiomes toward producing specific medium-chain carboxylates, finding that ethanol-to-lactate ratios and temperature influence product specificity.

This study shows that controlling pH and temperature in a continuous reactor system can selectively produce D-lactate from lactose-rich waste by manipulating microbial community composition.
