Steering ecological interactions in microbial chain elongation: functions and impacts of carbon- and iron-based materials.
The increasing accumulation of organic waste and the demand for renewable chemicals highlight the production of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) as an effective strategy for waste valorization. Microbial chain elongation (CE) converts short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) into MCFAs. However, its efficiency in mixed cultures...
