Microbial Community Pathways for the Production of Volatile Fatty Acids From CO2 and Electricity

This study aims at elucidating the metabolic pathways involved in the production of volatile fatty acids from CO2 and electricity. Two bioelectrochemical systems (BES) were fed with pure CO2 (cells A and B). The cathode potential was first poised at −574 mV vs. standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) and...

Two bioelectrochemical systems (BES) were fed with pure CO2 (cells A and B).

A mixture of organic compounds (1.87 mM acetic acid, 2.30 mM formic acid, 0.43 mM propionic acid, 0.15 mM butyric acid, 0.55 mM valeric acid, and 0.62 mM ethanol) was produced in cell A while mainly 1.82 mM acetic acid and 0.23 mM propionic acid were produced in cell B. The microbial community analysis performed by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing showed a predominance of Clostridium sp. and Serratia sp. in cell A whereas Burkholderia sp. and Xanthobacter sp. predominated in cell B.
