Abstract
This study on d -galacturonate metabolism by open, mixed-culture enrichments under anaerobic, d -galacturonate-limited chemostat conditions shows a stable and efficient fermentation of d -galacturonate into acetate as the dominant organic fermentation product. This fermentation stoichiometry and population analyses provide a valuable baseline for interpretation of the conversion of pectin-rich agricultural feeds
