Abstract
Contribution to the International Chain Elongation Conference 2020 | ICEC 2020. An abstract can be found in the right column.
Highlights
Lactate can be readily produced from carbohydrate-rich wastes such as food waste by environmental microorganisms and used as an electron donor to produce various medium chain carboxylic acids(MCCAs) through chain elongation process [1]
We showed Megasphaera hexanoica, a bacterial strain known to produce MCCAs from fructose, can metabolize lactate to produce caproic acid
RESULTS & DISCUSSION: Using lactate as an electron donor, caproic acid 28 production was observed in acetate and butyrate containing medium
