Optimization of CO fermentation by Clostridium carboxidivorans in batch reactors: Effects of the medium composition

CONCLUSIONS: The optimization of the medium composition in CO fermentation by Clostridium carboxidivorans is crucial for cost-effective solvent production. Tuning the yeast extract (YE) concentration, using pure cysteine as the reducing agent and reducing trace metal concentration contribute to reasonable solvent production within a relatively short fermentation period. Tungsten is essential for cell growth and solvent production, while selenium is not required.PMID:38614289 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2024.102855
