Session 11: Fermentation of Gaseous Feedstocks
Tuesday, July 22, 2014: 8:30 AM-11:30 AM
Regency Ballroom B, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Conveners:
Matthew L. Lipscomb - OPXBIO, Boulder, CO and Hasan K. Atiyeh - Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK
With the recent boom in North American natural gas availability and the advancement of technologies that convert biomass, municipal solid waste and other industrial waste streams to gaseous feedstocks, there is an increasing interest in the development of biological routes for synthesis of chemicals, liquid fuels and value-added products from these gaseous feedstocks. This session will highlight advancements in developing the novel organisms, biochemical routes and gas fermentation technologies that can enable the industrial bio-production of liquid fuels and chemicals from hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, biogas, natural gas, or methane.
