Abstract
Disclosed herein are non-naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum adapted to electrolyzer off-gas feedstock conditions that possess increased growth rates when compared to naturally occurring naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum.
Claims20
A non-naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum that when provided feedstock comprising carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide from electrolyzer off-gas or flue gas feedstock has improved growth rates and improved alcohol or acetate production rates when compared to a naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum.
A method for making a bioderived fuel comprising providing a non-naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum feedstock comprising carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide from electrolyzer off-gas or flue gas feedstock and isolating an alcohol that is used to make the bioderived fuel.
A system for the production of a bioderived fuel comprising a fermentation vessel that comprises a non-naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum that when provided feedstock comprising carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide from electrolyzer off-gas or flue gas feedstock has improved growth rates and improved alcohol production rates when compared to a naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum;
- and wherein the bioderived fuel is produced from the alcohol produced by the non-naturally occurring C. autoethanogenum.
