Integrated biochemical engineering: Strain and process engineering for the production of rhamnolipids

Establishing biotechnological processes within the envisaged circular bioeconomy requires the integration of all stages of process development. In this context, a joint operational window for the microbial production and in situ extraction of rhamnolipids in a novel multiphase loop reactor was defined. While outcomes of this thesis are related to the presented system, interdisciplinary approaches can be transferred to other bioprocesses, advocating the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy.
