“…Autotrophs use C1 compounds, such as CO, CO 2 and methanol, for their carbon source and hydrogen as their energy source while unicarbonotrophs use C1 compounds alone for both these purposes [142]. These microorganisms also utilise metals such as cobalt and nickel (which are contained in their enzymes) for the conversion of C1 compounds into value added products such as ethanol, but they are less sensitive to many of the gas contaminants, such a sulphur, that poison metal-based catalysts [143].…”
