Thiolase is the first enzyme catalysing the condensation of two acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA)
molecules to form acetoacetyl-CoA in a dedicated pathway towards the biosynthesis of n …

Reducing power such as NADH is an essential factor for acetone/butanol/ethanol (ABE)
fermentation using Clostridium spp. The objective of this study was to increase available …

Naturally occurring resources, such as water, energy, minerals, and rare earth elements, are
limited in availability, yet they are essential components for the survival and development of …

Clostridium beijerinckii is a well-known solvent-producing microorganism with great
potential for biofuel and biochemical production. To better understand and improve the …

Highlights•Lignocellulosic biomass and CO 2 are readily available and low cost but difficult
to ferment.•Clostridia can utilize cellulose or CO 2 to produce ethanol and acetic acid, but …

Butyric acid fermentation by Clostridium couples with the synthesis of acetic acid. But the
presence of acetic acid reduces butyric acid yield and increases separation and purification …

We present in this work a kinetic model of the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation
based on enzyme kinetics expressions. The model includes the effect of the co-substrate …

Butanol has shown to have superior fuel properties when compared to ethanol and has
many applications in chemicals industries. It can be produced by isopropanol-butanol …

Renewable liquid biofuels for transportation have recently attracted enormous global
attention due to their potential to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In recent …

Considering global economic and environmental–benefits, green renewable biofuels such
as ethanol and butanol are considered as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Thus …
