Abstract
- Autotrophic acetogens, carboxidotrophs, and methanotrophs can grow on CO, CO2 or CH4.
- Gas fermentation allows an economic production of commodity chemicals and biofuels.
- Anaerobic and aerobic processes using CO2, syngas (COÂ +Â H2) or CH4 are described.
- Microbial electrosynthesis coupled to CO2 reduction provides a novel approach.
- Industrial applications of microbial gas fermentation are presented.
