The present study aims to investigate the effects of different ratios of H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> on regulating the distribution of C2-C8 carboxylic acid products, while the headspace pressure of 1.5 bar was set to amplify the effect of different ratios. The H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratio of 4:1 was more suitable for preparing acetic acid, where the highest acetic acid yield was 17.5 g/L. And the H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratio of 2:1 showed excellent chain elongation ability with the highest n-caprylic yield of 2.4 g/L. Additionally, the actual H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratios of 4:1 reactors were higher than that in 2:1 may be course chain elongation often accompanied by H<sub>2</sub> production. The 16S rRNA genes analysis shows that the genus <i>Terrisporobacter</i> and <i>Coriobacteriales</i> may be related to acetic acid production enriched in H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratio 4:1 reactors, and the genus <i>Clostridium</i> and <i>Paenibacillaceae</i> may associate with the chain elongation pathway were enriched in H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> ratio 2:1 reactors.</p>","PeriodicalId":11678,"journal":{"name":"Engineering in Life Sciences","volume":"24 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/elsc.202200069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43305302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Stage II, H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> was replaced by 100% H<sub>2</sub> to induce solventogenesis, whereas butyric acid was produced with the highest concentration of 2.5 mM. At stage III with 10 µM tungsten (W) addition, iso-valeric acid, valeric acid, and caproic acid were produced at pH 4.5–5.0.
