Data underlying the publication: Lactate metabolism and microbiome composition are affected by nitrogen gas supply in continuous lactate-based chain elongation

Chain
elongation reactor microbiomes produce valuable medium-chain carboxylates (MCC)
from non-sterile residual substrates where lactate is a relevant intermediate.
Gas supply has been shown to impact chain elongation performance. In the
present study, the effect of nitrogen gas (N2) supply on lactate
metabolism, conversion rates, biomass growth and microbiome composition was
evaluated in a lactate-fed upflow anaerobic reactor with continuous or
intermittent N2 gas supply.
