Homoacetogenic Conversion of Mannitol by the Thermophilic Acetogenic Bacterium Thermoanaerobacter kivui Requires External CO2 [PDF]
Acetogenic microorganisms utilize organic substrates such as sugars in addition to hydrogen (H2) + carbon dioxide (CO2). Recently, we reported that the thermophilic acetogenic microorganism Thermoanaerobacter kivui is among the few acetogens that utilize

Formate-driven H2 production by whole cells of Thermoanaerobacter kivui. [PDF]
Background In times of global warming there is an urgent need to replace fossil fuel-based energy vectors by less carbon dioxide (CO 2 )-emitting alternatives. One attractive option is the use of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) since its combustion emits water
