P.43 bottom paragraph: "The reduction of CO2 by H2 as carried out by acetogenic bacteria (AB) occurs as shown below: 4H2 + 2C02 > CH3COO- + H+ + 2H20 This reaction has a ΔG˚' of -95kJ per mol making it considerably less efficient energetically than either methanogenesis or dissimilatory sulphate reduction (primary source)." |
