Inorganic Carbon Assimilation and Electrosynthesis of Platform Chemicals in Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) Inoculated with Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-H4.

ABSTRACT: The need for greener processes to satisfy the demand of platform chemicals together with the possibility of reusing CO₂ from human activities has recently encouraged research on the set-up, optimization, and development of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) for the electrosynthesis of organic compounds from inorganic carbon (CO₂, HCO₃^-). In the present study, we tested the ability of Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 (DSMZ 14923) to produce acetate and D-3-hydroxybutyrate from inorganic carbon present in a CO₂:N₂ gas mix. At the same time, we tested the ability of a Shewanella oneidensis MR1 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA1430/CO1 consortium to provide reducing power to sustain carbon assimilation
