Inhibition of Butyrate Oxidation by Formate during Methanogenesis

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A mixed methanogenic culture fed with glucose was perturbed with butyrate and formate to investigate the role of formate in the acetogenesis of butyrate. A free energy analysis suggests that formate rather than H2 was the interspecies electron carrier for butyrate conversion into acetate for the culture studied.
