Carbon Monoxide Rich Atmosphere

I want to make an atmosphere rich in carbon monoxide, but as it doesn't stick around for very long, it will need to be replenished. I'm looking for concentrations comparable to those of carbon dioxide or greater.

I have a previous question, Sustainability of Regular Global Wildfires Due to Oxygen Rich Atmosphere, that could be an answer for this, but the cyclic nature of the fires would mean that for long periods of time the atmosphere is relatively normal with little to no CO (or CO₂ sometimes according to one answer).

Could I have life produce it? Like oxygen on Earth. What reactions would organisms need to do to generate and use this much CO?
