  • USE OF THIAMINE AND NICOTINE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE FOR BUTANOL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20150218597
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to the field of industrial microbiology and alcohol production. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of thiamine, biosynthetic precursors of thiamine, nicotinic acid, nicotinamid, nicotinic acid riboside, nicotinamid riboside, or other biosynthetic precursors of nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to improve butanol production. Butanol production can be improved by providing sufficient amounts of thiamine, biosynthetic precursors of thiamine, nicotinic acid, nicotinamid, nicotinic acid riboside, nicotinamid riboside, or other biosynthetic precursors of nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in the production media.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING BUTANOL USING EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION
    Publication number: 20110097773
    Abstract: A method for producing butanol through microbial fermentation, in which the butanol product is removed by extraction into a water-immiscible extractant composition comprising a first solvent and a second solvent, is provided. The first solvent is selected from the group consisting of C12 to C22 fatty alcohols, C12 to C22 fatty acids, esters of C12 to C22 fatty acids, C12 to C22 fatty aldehydes, C12 to C22 fatty amides and mixtures thereof. The second solvent is selected from the group consisting of C7 to C11 alcohols, C7 to C11carboxylic acids, esters of C7 to C11 carboxylic acids, C7 to C11 aldehydes, and mixtures thereof. Also provided is a method for recovering butanol from a fermentation medium.
