Effect of pH and medium composition on chain elongation with Megasphaera hexanoica producing C4-C8 fatty acids

IntroductionChain elongation technology, which involves fermentation with anaerobic bacteria, has gained attention for converting short and medium chain substrates into valuable and longer-chain products like medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). In the recent past, the focus of studies with pure chain...
