Hexanol biosynthesis from syngas by Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is enhanced by in‑line extraction with a biocompatible solvent to avoid product toxicity
Abstract:Background Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 has the rare ability to metabolize syngas – a mixture of H2, CO and CO2 – by converting it directly into industrially relevant alcohols (hexanol, butanol and ethanol) and the corresponding acids (caproate, butyrate and acetate). The product titers and ratios are highly dependent on the fermentation parameters and the composition of the syngas and growth medium. The hexanol titers produced by C. carboxidivorans P7 have recently been improved by optimizing these conditio… Show more
