Dataset of Selective Enrichment and Fermentation Characteristics of Clostridium SPP. in Anthracite

The biogasification of coal, represented by coal-to-hydrogen and coal-to-methane, requires the cooperation of various types of bacteria to process the transformation of coal to clean gas from solid energy. It is important to research the isolation method and analyze the metabolic characteristics of strain at key metabolic point for biodegradation of coal in revealing the bio-utilization mechanism of coal and clarifying the mechanism of multi-bacteria cooperation. The propose of this study was to enrich one butyric acid-producing bacteria form Sihe coal sample, and to clarify the characteristics of the metabolites of it. Firstly, the optimal Clostridium SPP. enrichment medium was established by synthesizing nutrition regulation cultivation and biodiversity analysis. Analysis data indicated that the glucose-sucrose-maltose medium was the beneficial medium to the enrichment of butyric acid-producing bacteria. The metabolite characteristics was clear by the analysis of gas and liquid compounds in the enrichment of Clostridium SPP.. The dataset confirmed that butyric acid was the main metabolite of this strain, and did not have obvious characteristics of CO2 and H2 productions.
