Effect of Organic Substrate on Promoting Solventogenesis in Ethanologenic Acetogene Clostridium ljungdahlii ATCC5538

Clostridium ljungdahlii is a strictly anaerobic acetogene known for its ability to ferment a wide variety of substrates to ethanol and acetate. This bacterium presents a complex anaerobic metabolism including the acetogenic and solventogenic phases. In this study, the effect of various carbon sources on triggering the metabolic shift toward solventogenesis was considered. The bacterium was grow...

Energy Production and Growth of Pseudomonas oxalaticus OXl on Oxalate and Formate

The efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in Pseudomonas oxalaticus during growth on oxalate and formate was estimated by two methods. In the first method the amount of ATP required to synthesize cell material of standard composition was calculated during growth of the organism on either of the two substrates. The [Y2~] theor, values thus obtained were 12,5 and 6.5 for oxalate and formate res...

Characterization of the Electric Current Generation Potential of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Using Glucose, Fructose, and Sucrose in Double Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell

Background: Different concentrations of the simple carbon substrates i.e. glucose, fructose, and sucrose were tested to enhance the performance of the mediator-less double chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). Objectives: The power generation potential of the different electron donors was studied using a mesophilic Fe (III) reducer and non-fermentative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em...
