Abstract
Contribution to the International Chain Elongation Conference 2020 | ICEC 2020. An abstract can be found in the right column.
Highlights
Chain elongation has been proposed as a process to recover valuable products from complex organic waste streams.[1]
Modelling results suggested that ethanol, but not lactate, 43 increased medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) production
We found that while energy conserving mechanisms 55 can improve growth, they can be detrimental to MCFA production
Summary
Chain elongation has been proposed as a process to recover valuable products from complex organic waste streams.[1]. We simulated a well-studied chain elongating bioreactor to test the predictive power of the model and to diagnose bottlenecks to medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) production. Simulation results suggest that MCFAs are produced by a single guild in the bioreactor by converting sugars to MCFAs.
