Gas supply has been shown to impact chain elongation performance. In the present study, the effect of nitrogen gas (N<sub>2</sub>) supply on lactate metabolism, conversion rates, biomass growth and microbiome composition was evaluated in a lactate-fed upflow anaerobic reactor with continuous or intermittent N<sub>2</sub> gas supply. %I 4TU.ResearchData
