Growth of <i>Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava</i> on syngas: design of gas and liquid medium composition based on elemental yield coefficients.

ABSTRACT: Syngas, an industrial byproduct composed of H₂, CO, and CO₂, represents an energy-rich substrate for sustainable bioprocesses. However, the toxicity of CO limits its biological utilization to a small number of microorganisms, primarily cultured under anaerobic conditions. To expand the applicability of syngas in aerobic systems, this study investigates the use of Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava as a CO-oxidizing strain capable of converting CO into CO₂. This strain has been reported to be a suitable host strain for the engineered biosynthesis of value-added compounds such as the C₁₅ sesquiterpene. The amount of product synthesized depends directly on the amount of CO converted to CO₂ and subsequently assimilated as a carbon source. U
