This study engineers an anaerobic fungal-bacterial consortium to convert lignocellulosic biomass into medium-chain fatty acids without pretreatment, achieving a 21.0% conversion yield.

This study identifies a novel metabolic pathway in chain elongating bacteria that couples Stickland fermentation with reverse β-oxidation to produce medium-chain carboxylic acids.

The paper identifies distinct acetate utilization strategies in chain-elongating bacteria that explain differences in butyrate versus medium-chain carboxylic acid production.

This paper develops a methylation-conjugation system for Clostridium kluyveri to enable plasmid-based genetic modification and demonstrates its use for expressing a fluorescent reporter.

This study evaluates the feasibility of expanding the product range of chain elongating bacteria to produce C9-C12 fatty acids and other derivatives using metabolic engineering and constraint-based modelling.
