Revealing the Characteristics of Glucose- and Lactate-Based Chain Elongation for Caproate Production by Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans through Transcriptomic, Bioenergetic, and Regulatory Analyses

ABSTRACT Caproate, an important medium-chain fatty acid, can only be synthesized by limited bacterial species by using ethanol, lactate, or certain saccharides. Caproicibacterium lactatifermentans is a promising caproate producer due to its glucose and lactate utilization capabilities. However, the...
