Chain elongation process for caproate production using lactate as electron donor in Megasphaera hexanoica

Seongcheol Kang et al.

Summary: The study found that M. hexanoica can utilize lactate as an electron donor for chain elongation process, resulting in the production of caproate. Lactate as an electron donor showed higher specific titer and specific productivity compared to fructose, and simultaneous utilization of fructose and lactate further improved the production of MCCAs.

Medium chain fatty acids production from anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge

Shu-Lin Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated a novel alternative technology using ethanol as an electron donor in a one-stage anaerobic fermentation system to produce high-energy medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) from waste activated sludge (WAS). The results showed that increasing ethanol levels led to higher MCFAs production and selectivity, while also significantly enhancing WAS degradation.

Anaerobic caproate production on carbon chain elongation: Effect of lactate/butyrate ratio, concentration and operation mode

Shanbiao Xie et al.

Summary: By adjusting the ratio of butyrate to lactate and substrate concentrations, caproate production and electron efficiency can be enhanced. Inhibiting propionate production under low pH and low substrate concentration conditions is crucial. Semi-continuous operation could significantly increase caproate production compared to batch operation.

Quorum sensing signals enhanced caproate production by changing microbial community in chain elongation enrichments

Jing Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the enhancement of caproate production from ethanol and acetate in chain elongation enrichments by utilizing AHLs as signal molecules. The results show that adding C8-HSL significantly increases caproate concentration, possibly due to the increase in protein content and total biomass.
