Acetogenesis is known to provide organic compounds (acetate) from hydrogen and bicarbonate. Hydrogenase is also known to oxidise hydrogen directly in many bacteria, and methanogenesis is also known to happen in the presence of bicarbonate and hydrogen. Between the three of them, which one have the fastest kinetics? I want to know studies that compare the different pathways and in what kind of conditions and cultures are they happening.
This one might have some useful information. But about kinetics I think you need to find somewhere else.
