  • Method for Producing Butanol and Isopropanol
    Publication number: 20130149757
    Abstract: A novel Clostridium has been found that produces primarily n-butanol and isopropanol. Increased butanol was obtained by growing it continuously in an immobilized structure and extracting fermentation products immediately thereafter in a continuous flow extraction medium. Increased production was also achieved by fermentation in the presence of an extraction medium (such as corn oil) to decrease product inhibition followed by product separation from the fermentation broth and the extraction medium.
