From Electron Transport to Electron Allocation in Medium-Chain Carboxylic Acid Biosynthesis from Waste Biomass: Critical Roles, Challenges, and Enhancement Strategies
MCCA product extraction that improve electron allocation efficiency by enhancing CIET efficiency. Finally, future perspectives on optimizing electron supply/transport and mitigating undissociated MCCA toxicity are outlined. By synthesizing current research findings, this Review clarifies the regulatory mechanisms governing electron transport and promoting electron allocation efficiency in MCCA biosynthesis from waste biomass.
