Dataset on experimental data available in the literature on "Medium chain carboxylic acids from complex organic feedstock by mixed culture fermentation"

This dataset was created as a compilation of experimental data in the literature on the production of medium chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs) by microbial mixed cultures (MMC) fermentation. The intention was to provide a dataset as comprehensive as possible that includes the majority of experimental results available in this research area to the best of our knowledge. The focus lied on MMC-based studies processing complex organic feedstock, yet selected studies were included on synthetic substrates. The relevant literature studies were collected and experimental results categorized according to bioreactor operation, i.e. batch, fed-batch and (semi-)continuous. Operational parameters, such as feedstock type, organic loading rate, temperature, etc., were extracted from information reported in studies and placed alongside product outcome in terms of MCCA production for each experiment. This dataset forms the backbone of the discussion and figure generation of the literature review "Medium chain carboxylic acids from complex organic feedstock by mixed culture fermentation" by V. De Groof, M. Coma, T. Arnot, D. Leak, A. Lanham. Published in MDPI Molecules: Special Issue "Chemicals from Food Supply Chain By-Products and Waste Streams" 2019.

本数据集旨在汇编有关通过微生物混合培养（MMC）发酵生产中链羧酸（MCCAs）的文献中的实验数据。其宗旨在于提供尽可能全面的数据集，以涵盖我们所知该研究领域的绝大多数实验结果。研究重点在于基于MMC处理复杂有机原料的研究，同时亦收录了关于合成底物的选篇研究。相关文献研究被搜集整理，并按照生物反应器操作模式进行分类，包括批量、分批连续和（半）连续操作。从所报道的研究中提取了操作参数，如原料类型、有机负荷率、温度等，并将这些参数与每个实验中MCCA的生产结果并列呈现。该数据集构成了V. De Groof、M. Coma、T. Arnot、D. Leak、A. Lanham所著文献综述《通过混合培养发酵从复杂有机原料生产中链羧酸》的讨论和图表生成的核心基础。该综述发表于2019年MDPI Molecules杂志的特别专辑《从食品供应链副产品及废物流中提取化学品》。
