Bioenergetic constraints for conversion of syngas to biofuels in acetogenic bacteria [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2015 Synthesis gas (syngas) is a gas mixture consisting mainly of H2, CO, and CO2 and can be derived from different sources, including renewable materials like lignocellulose. The fermentation of syngas to certain biofuels, using acetogenic bacteria, has attracted more and more interest over the last years. However, this technology is limited by two things:
