3.2.2- Primary product (Electrons added)
Two-step carbon fixation provides a wider range of products that can be formed with this model, in both H2 mediation and EET-mediation. On the other hand, this could cause problems with initial carbon fixation products such as methane and ethane, which have comparatively lower redox potentials (Ref?), where it would further restrict the range of products that could be made. However these two compounds are often not worth making as a primary substrate, as it requires more electrons per carbon compared to other substrates (8 and 7 electrons per carbons respectively) compared to substrates shown in Table1.
