Preprint from the ERA Chair and collaborators from The University of Queensland, Australia and LanzaTech posted on bioRxiv demonstrates the promise of gas fermentation also for direct valorisation of CO₂, in addition to CO-containing gases. The authors used steady-state autotrophic chemostat cultures, metabolomics, and metabolic modelling to quantify conversion of CO₂ into fuels and chemicals. The work also shows co-utilisation of CO₂ and CO that enhanced fermentation performance significantly.
