Abstract

Microbial conversion of syngas to energy-dense biofuels and valuable chemicals is a potential technologyfor the efficient utilization of fossils (e.g., coal) and renewable resources (e.g., lignocellulosic biomass) inan environmentally friendly manner. However, gas–liquid mass transfer and kinetic li...
