Synthesis gas can be used by acetogenic bacteria for the production of organic acids and alcohols. A new multi-purpose bioreactor was operated as a stirred-tank, gas-lift, packed-bed biofilm or trickle-bed biofilm reactor to investigate the conversion of synthesis gas with
Clostridium aceticum and
Clostridium carboxidivorans at comparable operating conditions. The investigations enable the selection of a suitable bioreactor in match with the individual metabolic performance of each microorganism.
