Abstract
Medium Chain Carboxylic Acids (MCCAs) are monocarboxylic acids containing 6 to 12 atoms of carbon and have gained great attention as agricultural (and human) dietary supplements, for the production of personal care products, pharmaceuticals, dyes, antimicrobials and recently have gained great attention and have been proposed as a precursor for liquid transportation fuels (Stamatopoulou et al., 2020). The production of medium chain carboxylates is a result of chain elongation, a biological anaerobic fermentation process in which microbiomes, elongate short chain carboxylic acids into longer carbon chains (Angenent et al., 2016). For my study, we used synthetic and real organic waste to examine the impact of several parameters on the microbial community performing the biological process.
