The industrially importantCorynebacterium glutamicumcan only incompletely reduce nitrate into nitrite which then accumulates and inhibits growth. Herein we report that cathodes can resolve this problem and enhance glucose fermentation and growth by promoting nitrite reduction. Cell growth was inhibited at relatively high potentials but was significant when potentials were more reductive (−1.20 V with anthraquinone-2-sulfonate as redox mediator or −1.25 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Under these conditions, glucose was consumed up to 6 times faster and acetate was produced at up to 11 times higher yields (up to 1.1 mol/mol-glucose). Acetate concentrations are the highest reported so far forC. glutamicumunder anaerobic conditions, reaching values up to 5.3 ± 0.3 g/L. Herein we also demonstrate for the first time formate production (up to 3.4 ± 0.3 g/L) byC. glutamicumunder strongly reducing conditions, and we attribute this to a possible mechanism of CO2bioreduction that was electrochemically triggered.
