If so, which microorganism would be able to do that? I was wondering about the possibility of producing succinic acid (or succinate) from synthesis gas fermentation.
Microbial electrosynthesis could be a way to do it.
See for example :
Rabaey & Rozendal (2010) Nature Review Microbiology, , 8, 10, 706-716.
I kindly appreciate your contribution Nicolas Bernet, but I am trying to deal with a process without need of external electrical current and just using synthesis gas as substrate for bacteria growth. Could you give me some recommendations in case you know if this kind of fermentation has been developed? Thank you.
Ralstonia eutropha Should be able to do that in principle. But I am not aware whether a production strain is available or if you need to modify it. This might be a s.start:
