Proposed metabolic pathways for butyrate and caproic acid (CA) formation in strain CPB6. This was extended and modified from previous models for CA production [2, 5] with the combination of lactate oxidation and chain elongation. Pathways were also included here indicating that CA could be formed from condensation of either acetate and caproyl-CoA or butyrate and caproyl-CoA
