An artificial coculture fermentation system for industrial propanol production.

ABSTRACT: Converting plant biomass into biofuels and biochemicals via microbial fermentation has received considerable attention in the quest for finding renewable energies and materials. Most approaches have so far relied on cultivating a single microbial strain, tailored for a specific purpose. However, this contrasts to how nature works, where microbial communities rather than single species perform all tasks. In artificial coculture systems, metabolic synergies are rationally designed by carefully selecting and simultaneously growing different microbes, taking advantage of the broader metabolic space offered by the use of multiple organisms. 1-propanol and 2-propanol, as biofuels and precursors for propylene, are interesting target molecules to valorize plant biomass.
