摘要: Biomethanation is a mature technology for fuel production. Fourth generation biofuels research will focus on sequestering CO2 and providing carbon-neutral or carbon-negative strategies to cope with dwindling fossil supplies environmental impact. Formate an important intermediate in the methanogenic breakdown of complex organic material serves as precursor biological fuels production form methane, hydrogen, potentially methanol. produced by either CoA-dependent cleavage pyruvate enzymatic reduction NADH- ferredoxin-dependent manner. consumed through oxidation H2 can be further reduced via Wood-Ljungdahl pathway carbon fixation industrially Here, we review enzymes involved interconversion formate discuss potential applications
