Microbial CO utilization reduces the carbon footprint, providing economic potential. Biochar, rich in minerals and trace metals, can enhance microbial activity. This study investigates poultry litter and switchgrass biochars produced at 350 and 700 °C (PLB350, PLB700, SGB350 and SGB700, respectively) affect CO conversion to C2-C6 alcohols and acids by Clostridium muellerianum P21, C.

This study investigated the effects of biochar from switchgrass (SGB) and poultry litter (PLB) produced at 350 and 700 °C on alcohol formation using CO:CO:H (40:30:30) by Clostridium carboxidivorans (P7) and C. ragsdalei (P11).

The fed batch mode was selected for the maximum output of biomass (6.4g/L) and purified rhG-CSF (136mg/L) under suitable physicochemical environment.

To acquire a soluble form of renatured and purified rhG-CSF, various chromatographic conditions, including the mobile phase composition and pH was evaluated. Additionally, the effects of additives such as urea, amino acids, polyols, sugars, oxidizing agents and their amalgamations were also investigated.
