Energy Conservation and Carbon Flux Distribution During Fermentation of CO or H2/CO2 by Clostridium ljungdahlii

Both CO and H2 can be utilized as energy sources during the autotrophic growth of Clostridium ljungdahlii. In principle, CO is a more energetically and thermodynamically favorable energy source for gas fermentation in comparison to H2. Therefore, metabolism may vary during growth under different ene...
