Immobilization and Monitoring of Clostridium carboxidivorans and Clostridium kluyveri in Synthetic Biofilms.

ABSTRACT: The growing need for sustainable biotechnological solutions to address environmental challenges, such as climate change and resource depletion, has intensified interest in microbial-based production systems. Synthetic biofilms, which mimic natural microbial consortia, offer a promising platform for optimizing complex metabolic processes that can convert renewable feedstocks into valuable chemicals. In this context, understanding and harnessing the interactions between co-immobilized microorganisms are critical for advancing bioprocesses that contribute to circular bioeconomy goals. In this study, we investigated the viability and metabolic activity of Clostridium carboxidivorans and Clostridium kluyveri within a synthetic, dual-layered biofilm composed of agar hydrogel. This
