  • Publication number: 20240352491
    Abstract: Proposed is a method for CO2-free waste gas fermentation using microbial strains, and the method is capable of maximizing a consumption rate of gaseous substrates by additionally injecting methanol during a fermentation process of the microbial strains, and converting CO2, a greenhouse gas, generated during the fermentation process into hydrocarbon products therethrough. The method may comprise: 1) injecting microbial strains into a bioreactor; and 2) injecting gaseous substrates and methanol into the bioreactor, and converting the gaseous substrates and the methanol into hydrocarbon products through fermentation of the microbial strains, wherein all CO2 present inside the bioreactor is consumed and converted into hydrocarbon products.

  • Publication number: 20240209401
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a culture medium composition for increasing the growth and metabolic rate of an acetogenic strain and a method for culturing an acetogen strain using the same. According to an embodiment, there is an effect of providing a culture medium composition capable of increasing the growth and metabolic rate of an acetogen by adding a C1 compound such as methanol that is a soluble substrate for the production of intermediates in a Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of acetogen, and a method for culturing an acetogenic strain using the same.
