Thermodynamics and economic feasibility of acetone production from syngas using the thermophilic production host Moorella thermoacetica

Background: Syngas fermentation is a promising option for the production of biocommodities due to its abundance and compatibility with anaerobic fermentation. Using thermophilic production strains in a syngas fermentation process allows recovery of products with low boiling point from the off-gas via condensation. Results: In this study we...
