Table 4.

Comparison of the specific production rates of the three key reactions for chain elongation in strain CPB6

R1a R2a R3a R1/R3 R2/R3
Strain CPB6 0.162 0.108 0.046 3.522 2.348

R1: Caproyl-CoA + Acetate → Caproate + Acetyl-CoA; R2: Caproyl-CoA + Butyrate → Caproate + Butyryl-CoA; R3: Butyryl-CoA + Acetate → Butyrate + Acetyl-CoA

a The unit of rates is mg product/g biomass/min
