TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Method: The process further comprises processing the hydrocarbon-like molecules to chemical products. The step (a) comprises: mixed-acid or acid salt fermentation; gasifying undigested fermentation residues to produce gasification components; and producing ammonia. The step (b) comprises: (640) sterilizing the fermentation products; (b1) introducing fermentation products to at least one microorganism comprising heterotrophic microorganisms, chemo-mixotrophic organisms, photo-mixotrophic microorganisms and/or chemo-autotrophic microorganisms; producing extracellular and/or intracellular hydrocarbon-like molecules; converting supplemental alcohols or mixing at least one supplemental alcohol with the fermentation products, where the alcohol comprises methanol, ethanol and/or glycerol; and (690) recycling remaining fermentation products to a fermenter. The step (b1) further comprises mixing an oxidant or a reactant gas with the fermentation products, where the oxidant or the reactant gas comprises oxygen, nitrates, sulfates, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, light and/or air. The step (c) comprises: isolating the hydrocarbon-like molecules, which comprises lysing microorganisms; and separating hydrocarbon-like molecules from other fermentation products. The gasifying step comprises producing syngas and feeding gasification components to a bioreactor, by feeding a chemo-autotrophic microorganism, which comprises introducing syngas from supplemental sources. The step of fermenting biomass comprises anaerobic fermenting to a dilute solution and separating solids from the dilute solution. The process further comprises: producing 5-50C hydrocarbons by transesterifying, hydrogenating, decarboxylating, isomerizing, cleaving, crosslinking, refining, cracking, polymerizing, separating and/or cleaving processes; and directing at least a portion of the gasification components to at least one additional process.
