Establishing Mixotrophic Growth of Cupriavidus necator H16 on CO2 and Volatile Fatty Acids (2022)
Journal Article
Jawed, K., Irorere, V. U., Bommareddy, R. R., Minton, N. P., & Kovács, K. (2022). Establishing Mixotrophic Growth of Cupriavidus necator H16 on CO2 and Volatile Fatty Acids. Fermentation, 8(3), Article 125. https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation8030125

The facultative chemolithoautotroph Cupriavidus necator H16 is able to grow aerobically either with organic substrates or H2 and CO2 s and it can accumulate large amounts of (up to 90%) poly (3‐hydroxybutyrate), a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolyme...
