ABE fermentation

Thinning supplies of natural resources increase attention to sustainable microbial production of bio-based fuels. The strain Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B-598 is a relatively well-described butanol producer regarding its genotype and phenotype under various conditions. However, a link between these two levels, lying in the description of the gene regulation mechanisms, is missing for this strain, due to the lack of transcriptomic data.

There is a worldwide interest for sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable resources. Among them, the production of acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE) or Isopropanol, Butanol and Ethanol (IBE) by anaerobic fermentation has already a long industrial history. Isopropanol has recently received a specific interest and the best studied natural isopropanol producer is C. beijerinckii DSM 6423 (NRRL B-593).

Butanol is a virtually promising bio fuel of our future imputing to its higher blending ratios in petrol and diesel without any retrofitting in IC engines. Biobutanol was produced from Acetone Butanol and Ethanol (ABE) fermentation of 5% ortho phosphoric acid pretreated paddy straw biomass using Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 strain. ABE fermentation was a zymolysis process of Clostridium bacteria, the anaerobic breakdown of sugars into alcohols in which the solvents formed were a result of two different phases of acidogenesis and solventogenesis.
