1. A method for obtaining a product comprising a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 alcohol comprising the steps of:
a) providing in a vessel a mixture comprising i) a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 carboxylic acid, ii) Clostridia species, and a gaseous composition comprising: carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, or carbon dioxide and hydrogen; and b) maintaining the reaction conditions under anaerobic conditions such that the substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 alcohol is formed in the mixture, and at least 40% of the carbon from the exogenous substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 carboxylic acid is recovered as alcohol formed by the Clostridia species, wherein the steps a), and b) are carried out in the absence of viologen dyes, anthraquinone and other quinone dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, phthalocyanines, methane dyes, pyrrole dyes, pteridines and pteridones, flavines, and metal complexes of metals of secondary groups VI, VII, and VIII. |
