Production of acetic acid from cellulosic biomass by Simultaneous Saccharification and Extractive Fermentation (SSEF) was investigated. The homoacetate organism used in this study was a strain of Clostridium thermoaceticum, ATCC # 49707. A batch operation of Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation(SSF) using ${\alpha}$-cellulose at pH 5.5 and 55$^{\circ}C$ yielded 40% conversion of cellulose to acetic acid, while a fed-batch SSF operation produced a maximum acetic acid concentration of 25 g/L, with 50% overall yield. In-situ extractive fermentation to reduce the end-product inhibition on both bacteria and enzyme was carried out. in a batch SSEF using 200 g/L IRA-400 resin, acetic acid concentration reached to 23.9 g/L and acetic acid yield and productivity were observed to be 48% and 0.20 g/L-hr, respectively.

The active sites of the nickel and iron-containing enzyme, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from clostridium thermoaceticum were investigated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique. CODH exhibits several spectral features called NiFeC, $g_{ave}=1.82$, $g_{ave}=1.86$. FCII signals which are originated from different clusters in this enzyme. CODH is know to catalyze two different kinds of reactions - acetyl-CoA synthesis and CO oxidation. The acetyl-CoA synthesis activity can be followed by monitoring CO/acetyl-CoA exchange. The addition of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to CODH selectively destroyed the CO/acetyl-CoA exchange activity and eliminated the NiFeC signal completely. CO oxidation activity and other EPR signals were unaffected. Such behavior demonstrates that CODH has two distinct active sites and that the NiFe complex is only responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity. Phen caused the removal of only 30% of Ni in the NiFe complex ($0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$) as shown by the quantitative metal analysis. The phen-treated CODH could be reactivated fully by incubation In $Ni^{2+}$ solution. Radioactive $^{63}Ni^{2+}$ was used to quantitate the amount of the $Ni^{2+}$ incorporated into phen-treated enzyme and showed that the amount was the same as the removed by the phen treatment. i.e. $0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$. This indicates that only 30% of NiFe complexes are labile and responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity, the other 70% are non-labile and have no exchange activity. This is the first clear evidence that the NiFe complex is heterogencous and labile and non-labile Ni sites arc interacting differently with substrates and chelating agents like phen.

CODH(Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase)에 의한 이산화탄소 환원에 있어서 작업전극을 유리탄소전극을 사용한 경우와 금전극을 사용한 경우를 비교하여 그 영향을 관찰하였다. 금전극을 사용한 경우에는 수소발생과 섞이기 때문에 전기분해의 전위를 잘 선택해야 효율적인 이산화탄소의 환원 반응을 관찰할 수 있는데 반하여, 유리탄소전극은 금전극보다 수소 환원에 대한 과전압이 크기 때문에 -650 mV vs. NHE 까지도 중성수용액에서 수소발생 없이, 효율적인 이산화탄소의 환원을 관찰할 수 있었다. CODH를 이용한 이산화탄소의 환원에는 가해주는 전기분해 전위가 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었는데, $-570{\sim}600\;mV$ vs. NHE 근처가 가장 효율적임을 알 수 있었고 이보다 더 음의 전위를 걸어주었을 때는 효소활성의 감소 및 수소발생이 복합적으로 영향을 미쳐 일산화탄소 생성의 전류효율이 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다.
