This study evaluates the performance of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (codh)-embedded strains in bench-scale microbial electrochemical systems (MES) for CO2 reduction to biofuels and biochemicals. fermentation efficiency was evaluated by comparing wild-type Clostridium acetobutylicum (Wild), a negative control E. coli strain lacking codh gene (NC-BL21), engineered (Eng) alone with IPTG induction (Eng+IPTG). Four were used, viz. Wild+E, NC-BL21+E, Eng+E, Eng+IPTG+E, poised potential -0.6 V applied working electrode. bicarbonate supplemented total inorganic (IC) concentration 40 g/L, retention time 60 h. The demonstrated enhanced metabolic compared strains, yielding maximum formic acid (2.1 g/L) acetic (9.3 under Eng+IPTG+E condition. Solventogenesis also influenced positively same system ethanol yield 3.9 substantially exceeding biochemicals observed (2.4 acid). exhibited superior cumulative yields (0.40 g/g), CODH-mediated charge flux stability (60 vs 5 wild type), upregulated expression key genes Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP). Bioelectrochemical analysis elevated reductive catalytic currents, reduction, optimal transfer kinetics. highlights synergistic genetic engineering, specifically CODH overexpression, combined electro-fermentation biofuel biochemical production from C1 gases.
