Growth of Rhodospirillum rubrum on synthesis gas: conversion of CO to H2 and poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate.

TL;DR: To examine the potential use of synthesis gas as a carbon and energy source in fermentation processes, Rhodospirillum rubrum was cultured on synthesis gas generated from discarded seed corn and growth rates, growth and poly‐β‐hydroxyalkanoates yields, and CO oxidation/H2 evolution rates were evaluated.
