Anaerobic Conversion of Proteinogenic Amino Acids When Methanogenesis Is Inhibited: Carboxylic Acid Production from Single Amino Acids

Anaerobic Conversion of Proteinogenic Amino Acids When Methanogenesis Is Inhibited: Carboxylic Acid Production from Single Amino Acids

Proteins are an abundant biopolymer in organic waste feedstocks for biorefining. When degraded, amino acids are released, but their fate in non-methanogenic microbiomes is not well understood. The ability of a microbiome obtained from an anaerobic digester to produce volatile fatty acids from the tw...
