Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for enhancing a butyrate production by Clostridium tyrobutyricum strains, comprising adding an electron transfer mediator on a medium of Clostridium tyrobutyricum strains and fermenting the same; or providing electrons to the Clostridium tyrobutyricum strains with the aid of a reduction electrode (cathode) and fermenting the same for thereby enhancing the production of butyrate, by way of which it is possible to enhance the production of clostridium tyrobutyricum.
