Abstract
Contribution to the International Chain Elongation Conference 2020 | ICEC 2020. An abstract can be found in the right column.
Highlights
Bulk production of medium-chain carboxylates (MCCs) with 6-12 carbon atoms is of great interest to biotechnology
We studied its metabolism and compared its whole genome and the reverse β-oxidation genes to other bacteria
When carboxylates were extracted from the broth, the n-caproate selectivity was 42.6 ± 19.0% higher compared to serum bottles without extraction

Bulk production of medium-chain carboxylates (MCCs) with 6-12 carbon atoms is of great interest to biotechnology. * presenter, sofia.esquivel-elizondo@tuebingen.mpg.de a AG Angenent, Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, Germany; b Algorithms in Bioinformatics, Department of Computer Science, University of Tübingen, Germany; c International Max Planck Research School "From Molecules to Organisms", Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and University of Tübingen, Germany; d Environmental Biotechnology Group, Center for Applied Geosciences, University of Tübingen, Germany; e Integrative Analysis Unit, Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore. We isolated a chain-elongating bacterium that thrives at mildly acidic pH levels. The rBOX genes of the Caproiciproducens spp. are conserved and located next to each other, forming a gene cluster.
