Thermophilic Anaerobic Oxidation of Ethanol

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium Series ((FEMS,volume 54))

Abstract

A variety of facultative and obligate anaerobic bacteria ferment carbohydrates to primary aliphatic alcohols. These compounds are, therefore, important intermediates during the anaerobic degradation of organic matter to methane and carbon dioxide.
