Syngas as Electron Donor for Sulfate and Thiosulfate Reducing Haloalkaliphilic Microorganisms in a Gas-Lift Bioreactor

Abstract: Biodesulfurization processes remove toxic and corrosive hydrogen sulfide from gas streams (e.g., natural gas, biogas, or syngas). To improve the efficiency of these processes under haloalkaline conditions, a sulfate and thiosulfate reduction step can be included. The use of H2/CO mixtures (as in syngas) instead of pure H2 was tested to investigate the potential cost reduction of the electron donor required. Syngas is produced in the gas-reforming process and consists mainly of H2, carbon monoxide (CO), and car… Show more

“…[ 63 ], and in some sulfate reducing bacteria, including the thermophilic archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus in which CO is an electron donor for sulfate reduction. The CO tolerance of these strains is considered a beneficial alternative to biodesulfurisation processes [ 64 , 65 , 66 ].…”

“…Transcriptomics studies of CO-oxidizing bacteria in the presence of CO gas were done for A. fulgidus, Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius , Calderihabitans maritimus and C. pertinax . The general trend was the upregulation of CODH encoding genes, and in P. thermoglucosidasius a transcriptional pattern related with transition from aerobic to anaerobic growth was observed [ 56 , 65 , 66 , 67 ].…”

“…This, for several reasons, some, fundamental and related with the search for the limits of life [ 2 ], and others, more pragmatic and focused on the biotechnological potential of extremophiles, has sparked a marked growth of interest in the ecology of extreme environments [ 3 ]. The 2019–2020 version of Extremofiles 2.0, a Special Issue of Microorganisms devoted to extremophiles, has gathered eleven papers dealing with different aspects of microorganisms that thrive in extreme environments: five on halophiles [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ], three on acidophiles [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], one on thermophiles [ 12 ], one on psycrophiles [ 13 ] and one on metal resistant microorganisms [ 14 ].…”

“…Finally, Plugge et al characterized the efficiency of a gas-lift bioreactor in which H 2 /CO mixtures instead of pure H 2 were used. The addition of CO marginally affected the microbial community; over time acetate production increased and acetogenesis became the dominant process [ 8 ].…”
