    Abstract: A method of making a C4 diacid from a sugar source by fermentation with a microorganism is described that includes supplementing the fermentation medium with relatively low amounts of betaine. The use of betaine can substantially reduce or even completely eliminate the need for complex nutrient source such as yeast extract, and eliminate a need for vitamins such as biotin, while maintaining a high level of production of the C4 diacid from a simplified sugar based media. The use of betaine improves yield from sugar, final titer, and rate of production per hour. The method is particularly suitable for microorganisms that otherwise display a dependence on yeast extract for high productivity, more particularly for any bacteria, and most particularly for the production of succinic acid from the bacterium Actinobacillus succinogenes. An improved strain of A succinogenes is also described, having a mutation in a betaine transporter that improves C4 diacid production in the presence of betaine.

    Abstract: Systems and related methods of using heat to process an agriculture/product are provided. The system comprises a circulating fluidized bed combustor, a first conduit system, and an indirect heating dryer. The circulating fluidized bed combustor comprises a combustion chamber configured to combust a fuel to generate a mixture comprising hot gases and particulate matter, and a separation chamber configured to separate at least a portion of the particulate matter from the mixture to form a flow of cleaned hot gas. The first conduit system is configured to conduct the cleaned hot gas to a heat exchanger. The indirect heating dryer is in heat conductive contact with the heat exchanger and configured to use the heat from the cleaned hot gas to indirectly dry the agricultural product without contacting the agricultural product with the cleaned hot gas. The system and methods provide hot gas for efficient and low cost energy formed from alternative and lower cost fuels, including biomass sources, and allows for flexibility and efficiency in numerous manufacturing processes.
