Isolation and characterization of novel acetogenic strains of the genera Terrisporobacter and Acetoanaerobium.

ABSTRACT: Due to their metabolic versatility in substrate utilization, acetogenic bacteria represent industrially significant production platforms for biotechnological applications such as syngas fermentation, microbial electrosynthesis or transformation of one-carbon substrates. However, acetogenic strains from the genera Terrisporobacter and Acetoanaerobium remained poorly investigated for biotechnological applications. We report the isolation and characterization of four acetogenic Terrisporobacter strains and one Acetoanaerobium strain. All Terrisporobacter isolates showed a characteristic growth pattern under a H₂ + CO₂ atmosphere. An initial heterotrophic growth phase was followed by a stationary growth phase, where continuous acetate pr
