Optimalisation of the microbial electrosynthesis by Clostridium ljungdahlii (01P08913 )
Microbial electrosynthesis is the process in which bacteria use electrical energy to convert CO2 into organic compounds. A promising bacterium for this process is Clostridium ljungdahlii. Electrosynthesis by this bacterium will be optimized by developing a strain with an increased biofilm production and an enhanced electron transfer, as well as by improving the operational conditions for reactors.
