Despite the environmental benefits of recycling CO\u00a0<sub>2<\/sub>emissions to counter global warming, bioelectrochemical production of acetate is not very attractive from an economic point of view. Conversely, carboxylates and corresponding alcohols with longer C content not only have a higher economical value as compared to acetate, but they are also relevant platform chemicals and fuels used on a diverse array of industrial applications. Here, we report on a specific mixed reactor microbiome capable of producing a mixture of C4 and C6 carboxylic acids (isobutyric, n-butyric, and n-caproic acids) and their corresponding alcohols (isobutanol, n-butanol, and n-hexanol) using CO\u00a0<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0as the sole carbon source and reducing power provided by an electrode. Metagenomic analysis supports the hypothesis of a sequential carbon chain elongation process comprised of acetogenesis, solventogenesis, and reverse \u03b2-oxidation, and that isobutyric acid is derived from the isomerization of n-butyric acid.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39bd4acd ts-col-stretched-none ts-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39bd4acd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d33b1c6 ts-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"5d33b1c6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5992c39a elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"5992c39a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1501\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1501\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Informaci\u00f3 addicional<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1501\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1501\"><table style=\"border: hidden;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Year:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2018<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Authors:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Vassilev, I., Hernandez, P.A., Batlle-Vilanova, P., Freguia, S., Kr\u00f6mer, J.O., Keller, J., Ledezma, P., Virdis, B.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering Volume 6, Issue 7, 2 July 2018, Pages 8485-8493<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Link:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1021\/acssuschemeng.8b00739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1021\/acssuschemeng.8b00739<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61c09e7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"61c09e7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Vassilev, I., Hernandez, P.A., Batlle-Vilanova, P., Freguia, S., Kr\u00f6mer, J.O., Keller, J., Ledezma, P., Virdis, B.
