Effect of Acid/Ethanol Ratio on Medium Chain Carboxylate Production with Different VFAs as the Electron Acceptor: Insight into Carbon Balance and Microbial Community

Effect of Acid/Ethanol Ratio on Medium Chain Carboxylate Production with Different VFAs as the Electron Acceptor: Insight into Carbon Balance and Microbial Community

Medium chain carboxylates (MCCs) are important precursors for biodiesel production. Using chain elongation to produce MCCs is an emerging bioenergy technology. In this study, batch tests were conducted to investigate fermentative MCC production through chain elongation from acetate, propionate, <...
