The potential of renewable energy application via direct electrode interaction for the production of bio-based chemicals is a promising technology. The utilization of extracellular energy in pure culture fermentations aims in intracellular redox balance regulation in order to improve fermentation efficiency. This work evaluates the impact of a bioelectrochemical system in succinic acid fermentation and the metabolic response of Actinobacillus succinogenes. The metabolic pathway regulation of A. succinogenes was evaluated via RNA expression of the key enzymes that participate in TCA cycle, pyruvate metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. The genes that were significantly overexpressed in BES compared to non-BES were phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (0.4-fold change), inorganic pyrophosphatase (2.3-fold change) and hydrogenase (2.2-fold change) and the genes that were significantly underexpressed were fumarase (-0.94-fold change), pyruvate kinase (-6.9-fold change), all subunits of fumarate reductase (-2.1 to -1.17-fold change), cytochromes I and II (-1.25 and -1.02-fold change, respectively) and two C4-carboxylic acid transporters.

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) offer a sustainable method for chemical production, including the enhanced production of succinic acid. By combining fermentation with BES, it could be possible to achieve sustainable succinic acid production and CO fixation using . In literature, the potential application of BES is commonly associated with increased succinate yields, as it is expected to enhance the availability of NADH, thereby influencing the intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH/NAD) balance.

Article Synopsis
- Succinic acid is important for food additives, dietary supplements, and biodegradable polymers, and its production has gained interest due to environmental and economic factors.
- The study improved succinic acid production from lignocellulosic biomass by genetically modifying strains to overexpress specific genes, leading to a 1.3-fold increase in production.
- Fed-batch fermentation produced 50 g/l of succinic acid, and batch fermentation from barley straw yielded 22.2 g/l, suggesting that using agricultural waste for succinic acid production could be a sustainable industrial approach.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the role of neutral red (NR) as an electron mediator during the electrosynthesis of succinic acid by Actinobacillus succinogenes, emphasizing its integration into bacterial cell membranes for efficiency in microbial electrochemical cells (MECs).
- - Findings show that while NR is quickly absorbed during bacterial growth, adding more NR does not significantly boost acid production, and any loss of membrane-bound NR is not supplemented by NR in the fermentation liquid.
- - The research highlights the importance of controlling electro-potential to reduce NR degradation, which is crucial for maintaining MEC functionality and efficiency in long-term electrosynthesis processes.

The production of succinic acid from corn stover is a promising and sustainable route; however, during the pretreatment stage, byproducts such as organic acids, furan-based compounds, and phenolic compounds generated from corn stover inhibit the microbial fermentation process. Selecting strains that are resistant to stress and utilizing nondetoxified corn stover hydrolysate as a feedstock for succinic acid production could be effective. In this study, A.
