Abstract:
The methods are disclosed for sustaining a population of microorganisms in an aqueous fermentation broth used in a process to convert syngas to alcohol when the supply of syngas is impaired. The methods involve supplying at least one formate moiety at a rate and amount sufficient to maintain the population of microorganisms. The introduction of the formate moiety also results in the production of at least one metabolic compound other than ethanol and/or acetate by the microorganisms. The metabolic compound can comprise at least one energy storage compound which can be used to support the microorganisms during processing, storage and reactivation.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 1  wherein:\n the addition of formate moiety to the fermentation broth is sufficient to provide at least about 2 mole percent of the electrons that were provided to the fermentation broth by the syngas prior to the impairment of syngas supply; \n the rate of addition of formate moiety to the fermentation broth provides between about 2 and 15 mole percent of the electrons being provided to the fermentation broth prior to the impairment of syngas supply; \n acid is introduced intermittently or continuously to maintain the pH within the range of about 4.5 to 5.5; and \n the formate moiety is added continuously.
