Sustainable production of biobutanol using clostridium acetobutylicum atcc 824 as cell factory

Abstract

The present study has been designed and executed with a keen interest on eliminating the major bottlenecks of butanol fermentation in order to render the developed bioprocess strategies economically feasible and commercially realizable Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 has been chosen as the platform for butanol biosynthesis Initially the strain has been characterized on a wide variety of carbon and nitrogen sources assessing its maximum butanol potential Glucose and peptone were screene... newline newline
