Early bloom alfalfa (Medicago sativa cult Saranac), at 22.5% dry matter, was harvested with a forage harvester. Formic acid (85% solution) and formalin (37.5% solution) and various combinations of mixtures were applied to the forage on a fresh weight basis at rates of 0.33, 0.50, and 0.66%. A sample of the treated material was ensiled in test tube silos fitted with fermentation locks. At various time intervals, analyses were made to follow the patterns of organic acid production. In untreated silage, the pH dropped to 4.3 with high lactic acid production, but after 39 days, the pH began to rise as lactic acid was degraded by Clostridia. Formic acid at 0.33 and 0.50% delayed but did not prevent either lactic acid production or subsequent degradation. Formic acid (0.66%) and all rates of formalin depressed lactic acid production. The production of butyric, isobutyric, and isovaleric acids was depressed to low levels only at the 0.66% rate of treatments. Formic acid was more effective than formalin in depressing volatile fatty acids. The formic–formalin mixtures gave results intermediate to separate applications of formic acid and formalin for all parameters analyzed.

AbstractHydrogen oxidizing autotrophic bacteria are promising hosts for CO2 conversion into chemicals. In this work, we engineered the metabolically versatile lithoautotrophic bacterium Rhodococcus opacus strain DSM 43205 for synthesis of polymer precursors. Aspartate decarboxylase (panD) or lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) were expressed for beta-alanine or L-lactic acid production, respectively. The heterotrophic cultivations on glucose produced 25 mg L-1 beta-alanine and 742 mg L-1 L-lactic acid, while autotrophic cultivations with CO2, H2 and O2 resulted in the production of 1.8 mg L-1 beta-alanine and 146 mg L-1 L-lactic acid. Beta-alanine was also produced at 345 µg L-1 from CO2 in electrobioreactors, where H2 and O2 were provided by water electrolysis. This work demonstrates that R. opacus DSM 43205 can be readily engineered to produce chemicals from CO2 and provides base for its further metabolic engineering.
