Metatranscriptomic analysis of material-assisted lactate fermentation for caproate production
This BioProject investigates the transcriptional responses of mixed microbial communities during lactate fermentation for caproate (hexanoate) production under four conditions: an untreated control (CK), graphene supplementation (Gr), magnetite (Fe3O4) supplementation (Fe), and magnetic graphene supplementation (GF). Fermentation broth samples from two replicates per condition were subjected to metatranscriptomic sequencing. The objective is to characterize how these materials affect microbial gene expression and metabolic pathways associated with lactate utilization and caproate production.
