Microbial Community Pathways for the Production of Volatile Fatty Acids From CO2 and Electricity

This study aims at elucidating the metabolic pathways involved in the production of volatile fatty acids from CO2 and electricity. Two bioelectrochemical systems (BES) were fed with pure CO2 (cells A and B). The cathode potential was first poised at −574 mV vs. standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) and...
