Mixed culture biotechnology for bioenergy production
Abstract
Mixed culture biotechnology (MCB) could become an attractive addition or alternative to traditional pure culture based biotechnology for the production of chemicals and/or bioenergy. On the basis of ecological selection principles, MCB-based processes can be established that generate a narrow product spectrum from a mixed substrate. Three example processes are briefly discussed in this paper: anaerobic digestion aimed at the production of methane-containing biogas, mixed culture fermentation for the production of solvents or biohydrogen, and a two-step process for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates. These examples give an idea of the potential contribution of mixed culture biotechnology to sustainable production of bioenergy from waste.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
