Fermentative formate production by the photoautotrophic microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. (A) Left panel: Starch accumulation during the photoautotrophic phase in the presence of oxygen and light. Right panel: Starch hydrolysis, glycolytic conversion of glucose into pyruvate and fermentative production of formate from pyruvate occurring under dark anoxic conditions. (B) Depiction of the two-stage process applied in order to prepare formate-containing culture supernatants.
