Butanol production from wheat straw hydrolysate using Clostridium beijerinckii.

Butanol production from agricultural residues: Impact of degradation products on Clostridium beijerinckii growth and butanol fermentation.

During pretreatment and hydrolysis of fiber-rich agricultural biomass, compounds such as salts, furfural, hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), acetic, ferulic, glucuronic, rho-coumaric acids, and phenolic compounds are produced. Clostridium beijerinckii BA101 can utilize the individual sugars present in lignocellulosic [e.g., corn fiber, distillers dry grain solubles (DDGS), etc] hydrolysates such as ...

Butanol production by Clostridium beijerinckii. Part I: use of acid and enzyme hydrolyzed corn fiber.

Fermentation of sulfuric acid treated corn fiber hydrolysate (SACFH) inhibited cell growth and butanol production (1.7+/-0.2g/L acetone butanol ethanol or ABE) by Clostridium beijerinckii BA101. Treatment of SACFH with XAD-4 resin removed some of the inhibitors resulting in the production of 9.3+/-0.5 g/L ABE and a yield of 0.39+/-0.015. Fermentation of enzyme treated corn fiber hydrolysate (ET...

Acetone, butanol and ethanol production from domestic organic waste by solventogenic clostridia.

Domestic organic waste (DOW) was washed and dried to 85 % dryness by VAM (The Netherlands). This material contained 25.1 g glucose, 8.4 g xylose and 5.8 g other monosaccharides/100 g dry matter. Using Mansonite steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis, a hydrolysate containing 15.4 g glucose, 2.2 g xylose and 0.8 g other monosaccharides per l was made. Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 1731 produc...

INCREASING FERMENTATIVE BUTANOL PRODUCTION IN CLOSTRIDIUM BEIJERINCKII USING OXIDIZED EXTRACELLULAR ELECTRON SHUTTLING MOLECULES BY ANNE HALUSKA THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Engineering in Civil Engineering

Impact of syringaldehyde on the growth of Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 and butanol production

While lignocellulosic biomass excels as a cheap, renewable resource for biofuel production, it does present some challenges such as generation of microbial inhibitory compounds. The mode of selective inhibition of acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) production (as opposed to cell growth) by syringaldehyde on Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 was examined. C. beijerinckii 8052 grown in syringaldehyd...
