A key challenge in process optimization is reactor performance, particularly in light-dependent bioprocesses. While novel photobioreactor designs exist, adapting established bioreactors with simple media supplementation may provide a more practical and modular alternative to complex mechanical modifications. In this study, we evaluated the effect of supplementing 0.2 % (w/v) clay powder on acetate production by Rhodopseudomonas palustris grown on butyrate. Among the clay types tested, kaolin...

Fully automated self-driving laboratories promise high-throughput, large-scale scientific discovery by reducing repetitive labor. However, they require deep integration of laboratory knowledge, which is often unstructured, multimodal, and hard to incorporate into current AI systems. This paper introduces the "k-agents" framework, designed to support experimentalists in organizing laboratory knowledge and automating experiments with agents. The framework uses large-language-model-based agents to...
