Abstract
The present invention comprises a process to produce organic products from a single-carbon substrate; microbial compositions used in the process; and a process to isolate microorganisms for the process.
Claims19
A process for producing a multi-carbon organic product from a single-carbon substrate comprising:
- a) transferring microorganisms to a fermentation broth in a reactor vessel, wherein said microorganisms comprise a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family;
- b) supplying the single-carbon substrate and a reducing agent or a compound that is both a single-carbon substrate and a reducing agent to the reactor vessel;
- c) culturing the microorganisms under conditions causing the microorganisms to produce the multi-carbon organic product from the single carbon substrate;
- and
- d) recovering the multi-carbon organic product from the reactor vessel.

A process to convert carbon dioxide to a multi-carbon product comprising:
- a) transferring microorganisms to a fermentation broth in a reactor vessel, wherein said microorganisms comprise a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family that is selected or adapted to grow on carbon dioxide as a carbon substrate;
- b) supplying the carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen to the reactor vessel;
- c) culturing the microorganisms under conditions causing the microorganisms to produce the multi-carbon product;
- and
- d) recovering the multi-carbon organic product from the reactor vessel.
