AI Article Synopsis
- Mixed-acid fermentation produces hydrogen (H) and carbon monoxide (CO) from formate.
- Recent research indicates that by applying high partial pressures of these gases, the process of formate oxidation can be reversed.
- This reversal could lead to potential biotechnological applications that harness this unique reaction.
Article Abstract
Mixed-acid fermentation generates H and CO from formate. As shown in a recent study, the formate oxidation reaction can be driven backwards when sufficiently high partial pressures of the gases are applied, suggesting potentially interesting biotechnological applications.
