Abstract
Envisioning value chains inspired by environmental sustainability and circularity in economic models is essential to counteract the alterations in the global natural carbon cycle induced by humans. Recycling carbon-based waste gas streams into chemicals by devising gas fermentation bioprocesses mediated by acetogens of the genus Clostridium is one component of the solution.
