  "summary": "Improving carbon recovery during sugar fermentation remains a major challenge because a substantial fraction of substrate carbon is lost as CO2 during central metabolism. To overcome this limitation, Clostridium sp. JS66 (JS66), an acetogen producing hexanoic acid from glucose, was subjected to adaptive laboratory evolution under CO2/H2 conditions to enhance H2-assisted CO2 reassimilation during…",
