Abstract
At least one product chosen from acids and alcohols is produced by a microbial fermentation process comprising: providing a gaseous substrate and a liquid medium to a microorganism, wherein the liquid medium comprises lactic acid and/or salts thereof, and wherein the gaseous substrate comprises at least one carbon source chosen from CO and CO2, and allowing the microorganism to produce at least one product chosen from acids and alcohols.
Claims18
A process for microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate comprising CO2, the process comprising:
- providing a gaseous substrate and a liquid medium to a microorganism, wherein the liquid medium comprises lactic acid and/or salts thereof, and wherein the gaseous substrate comprises CO2, and
- allowing the microorganism to produce at least one product chosen from acids and alcohols.
A process of improving efficiency of carbon capture in microbial fermentation, comprising:
- providing a gaseous substrate and a liquid medium to a microorganism, wherein the liquid medium comprises lactic acid and/or salts thereof, and wherein the gaseous substrate comprises at least one carbon source chosen from CO and CO2, and allowing the microorganism to produce at least one product chosen from acids and alcohols.
