Abstract

Contribution to the International Chain Elongation Conference 2020 | ICEC 2020. An abstract can be found in the right column.

Highlights

  • Lactic acid-mediated chain elongation technologies offer a highly promising route for production of medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCA; e.g. caproic, caprylic acid)

  • Lactic acid-fed microbial communities were exposed to varying pH

  • Based on pH preferences of known propionic acid producers[6] and chain elongators[7], we hypothesized that chain elongators prefer low pH, whereas propionic acid producers prefer high pH
