Abstract:

The continuously rising energy prices and the growth in petroleum consumption have induced the pertinent pursuit of producing alternative fuels. Utilizing long-chain alcohols (LCAs) yielded from anaerobic bioprocess as renewable energy is a promising strategy to achieve the sustainable production of biofuels. Anaerobic fermentation is a sustainable process for reclaiming biodiesel from the organic wastes, which has received increasing attention due to its potential in producing renewable energy. Open-culture fermentation is preferred over single-species fermentation to yield the said alcohols because of its lower operating and capital costs. To better explore the LCAs productions from open-culture fermentation, a comprehensive understanding of this subject is currently needed but not available yet. To this end, the formations of LCAs and their possible precursors, medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), were systematically evaluated at first time with the focus on metabolic platforms, interspecies interactions, and competing microbial reactions. Suitable operational conditions and challenges were then synthesized, followed by the discussion on the viability of adopting current strategies towards higher alcohols productivities. The potential opportunities for enhancing LCAs outputs via biological processes were then suggested based on the review.
