Nitrate Feed Improves Growth and Ethanol Production of Clostridium ljungdahlii With CO2 and H2, but Results in Stochastic Inhibition Events

The pH-value in fermentation broth is a critical factor for the metabolic flux and growth behavior of acetogens. A decreasing pH level throughout time due to undissociated acetic acid accumulation is anticipated under uncontrolled pH conditions such as in bottle experiments. As a result, the impact...
