Microbial Enrichment Techniques on Syngas and CO₂ Targeting Production of Higher Acids and Alcohols.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Microbial conversion of gaseous molecules, such as CO₂, CO and H_2, to valuable compounds, has come to the forefront since the beginning of the 21st century due to increasing environmental concerns and the necessity to develop alternative technologies that contribute to a fast transition to a more sustainable era. Research efforts so far have focused on C1-C2 molecules, i.e., ethanol and methane, while interest in molecules with higher carbon atoms has also started to emerge. Research efforts have already started to pay off, and industrial installments on ethanol production from steel-mill off-gases as well as methane production from the CO₂ generated in biogas plants are a reality. (2) Methodology: The present study addresses C4-C6 acids and
