An electrochemical bioreactor was prepared to generate electrochemical reducing power coupled to regeneration of NADH. Growing cells of recombinant R. eutropha produced about 29 mM of ethanol in conventional conditions and 56 mM of ethanol in electrochemically reduced conditions from 100 mM glucose. Grown cells of the recombinant produced about 52 mM of ethanol in conventional conditions and 142 mM of ethanol in electrochemically reduced condition from 100 mM glucose. These results are a clue that electrochemical reducing power can induce the recombinant R. eutropha to produce more ethanol coupled to increase of NADH/NAD+ ratio.展开更多

Acetic, propionic, butyric and lactic acids were produced during food wastes anaerobic digestion and their concentrations reached 5.5, 1.8, 27.4 and 32.7 g/L, respectively under appropriate digestion conditions. The fermentative acids were transferred through a dialysis membrane to an air-lift reactor for PHA synthesis by Ralstonia eutropha. Dry cell concentration and PHA content reached 22.7 g/L and 72.6%, respectively. The obtained PHA was a copolymer of b-hydroxybutyrate (HB) and b-hydroxyvalerate (HV) with 2.8% (mole ratio) of HV units in polymer.展开更多
