Abstract:During the decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, recovering the carbon and electrons lost as CO 2 and H 2 is crucial for enhancing the carbon utilization from the sugar substrate in an inefficient microbial fermentation. In this study, cofermentation of Clostridium tyrobutyricum (Cty) and Clostridium ljungdahlii (Clj) was performed to enhance carbon recovery and value-added chemical production. The CO 2 and H 2 released by Cty during glucose metabolism were converted to acetic acid and ethanol by Clj via … Show more
