Abstrakt: Producing caproic acid via carboxylate platform is an environmentally-friendly approach for treating lignocellulosic agricultural waste. However, its implementation is still challenged by low product yields and selectivity. A microbiome named cellulolytic acid-producing microbiome (DCB), proficient in producing cellulolytic acid, was successfully acquired and shows promise for producing high-level caproic acid. In this study, a bioaugmentation method utilizing Clostridium kluyveri is proposed to enhance caproic acid yield of DCB using rice straw. With exogenous ethanol, bioaugmentation with Clostridium kluyveri significantly improved the caproic acid concentration and selectivity by 7 times and 4.5 times, achieving 12.9 g/L and 55.1 %, respectively. The addition of Clostridium kluyveri introduced reverse β-oxidation pathway, a more efficient caproic acid production pathway. Meanwhile, bioaugmentation enriched the bacteria proficient in degrading straw and producing short-chain fatty acids, providing more substrates for caproic acid production. This study provides potential bioaugmentation strategies for optimizing caproic acid yield from lignocellulosic biomass.
