Abstract
A method of microbial electrosynthesis using co-cultures is disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to a method of microbial electrosynthesis utilizing a microbial strain capable of electron uptake from an electrode to produce hydrogen or formate in co-culture with a microbial production strain, such as a methanogen, acetogen, or other microorganism capable of synthesizing valuable products from carbon dioxide and hydrogen or formate.
