Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous syngas fermentation for the production of ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol.
Kan Liu,Hasan K. Atiyeh,Bradley S. Stevenson,Ralph S. Tanner,Mark R. Wilkins,Raymond L. Huhnke +5 more
TL;DR: A 16S rRNA gene-based survey revealed a mixed culture in the fermentor dominated by A. bacchi strain CP15 (56%) and Clostridium propionicum (34%) that presents an opportunity for higher alcohols production from syngas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fermentative production of ethanol from syngas using novel moderately alkaliphilic strains of Alkalibaculum bacchi.
TL;DR: Results show that CP15 is the most promising for ethanol production because of its higher growth and ethanol production rates and yield compared to CP11(T) and CP13.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed culture syngas fermentation and conversion of carboxylic acids into alcohols.
Kan Liu,Hasan K. Atiyeh,Bradley S. Stevenson,Ralph S. Tanner,Mark R. Wilkins,Raymond L. Huhnke +5 more
TL;DR: Mixed culture fermentation between the syngas fermenting Alkalibaculum bacchi strain CP15 and propionic acid producer Clostridium propionicum resulted in a 50% higher conversion efficiency of these acids to their respective alcohols compared to CP15 monoculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Butanol production from hydrothermolysis-pretreated switchgrass: Quantification of inhibitors and detoxification of hydrolyzate.
Kan Liu,Hasan K. Atiyeh,Oscar Pardo-Planas,Thaddeus Chukwuemeka Ezeji,Victor Ujor,Jonathan C. Overton,Kalli Berning,Mark R. Wilkins,Ralph S. Tanner +8 more
TL;DR: The results show the potential of butanol production from hydrothermolysis pretreated switchgrass by adjusting the pH of the non-detoxified hydrolyzate to 6 and adding 4 g/L CaCO3 increased butanol formation to about 6g/L.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological response of Clostridium carboxidivorans during conversion of synthesis gas to solvents in a gas-fed bioreactor.
Michael N. Ukpong,Hasan K. Atiyeh,Marthah J.M. De Lorme,Kan Liu,Xiaoguang Zhu,Ralph S. Tanner,Mark R. Wilkins,Bradley S. Stevenson +7 more
TL;DR: A link between the expression of key enzymes, their measured activities and solvent production by C. carboxidivorans P7 is provided and potential targets for metabolic engineering efforts designed to produce higher amounts of ethanol or butanol from syngas are identified.
