AEROBIC METHOD OF PRODUCING ALCOHOLS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC C12N1/20 C12P7/04 C12P7/06 C12P7/14 C12P7/40 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a reaction mixture for producing ethanol and/or acetate from a carbon source in aerobic conditions and use thereof. Disclosed is a reaction mixture for producing ethanol and/or acetate from a carbon source in aerobic conditions, comprising a first acetogenic microorganism in an exponential growth phase, free oxygen in concentration from 0.000005 % to 1 % by volume and second acetogenic microorganism in stationary phase. First and second acetogenic microorganisms are capable of converting a carbon source into acetate and/or ethanol. First and second microorganisms are selected from a group consisting of Acetobacterium woodii (DSM 1030), Clostridium autoethanogenum (DSM 10061, DSM 19630 and DSM 23693), Clostridium carboxidivorans (DSM 15243), Clostridium ljungdahlii (DSM 13528), Clostridium ljungdahlii C-01 (ATCC 55988), Clostridium ljungdahlii ERI-2 (ATCC 55380) and Clostridium ljungdahlii O-52 (ATCC 55989). First and second acetogenic microorganisms are identical microorganisms. Disclosed also is use of a mixture for producing ethanol and/or acetate.

EFFECT: group of inventions provides efficient production of ethanol and/or acetate from a carbon source under aerobic conditions.
