Homoacetogens are efficient CO fixing bacteria using H as electron donor to produce acetate. These organisms can be enriched at the biocathode of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) for electricity-driven CO reduction to acetate. Studies exploring homoacetogens in MES are mainly conducted using pure or...
