Development of a bioprocess for enhanced butanol production integrating laboratory experiments with in silico predictions

Abstract

Increasing global population and energy intensive lifestyle has resulted in increased global energy demand Butanol produced by clostridial fermentation is a promising transportation alternative as a drop in fuel due to its physiochemical properties The present study aims to address pressing bottlenecks and develop a suitable bioprocess for butanol production using Clostridium sp Suitable strain for fermentation C acetobutylicum MTCC 11274 was selected from procured cultures based on a ma...
