Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant and sustainable feedstock available globally.
As a source of the polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicellulose, it can be converted into …

The global energy crisis and limited supply of petroleum fuels have rekindled the interest in
utilizing a sustainable biomass to produce biofuel. Butanol, an advanced biofuel, is a …

Abstract Although CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1 have been employed as powerful genome
engineering tools, heterologous CRISPR-Cas9/Cpf1 are often difficult to introduce into …

Clostridium cellulovorans DSM 743B offers potential as a chassis strain for biomass refining
by consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). However, its n-butanol production from lignocellulosic …

Clostridia are Gram-positive, spore-forming, obligate anaerobic bacteria that can produce
solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and butanol, which can be used as biofuels or building …

Microbial production of acetone and butanol was one of the first large-scale industrial
fermentation processes of global importance. During the first part of the 20th century, it was …

butanol dehydration reaction has recently emerged as a sustainable route to produce
butenes which can be further oligomerized to be applied as jet fuel. However, the high …

Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation by clostridia has shown promise for industrial-
scale production of biobutanol. However, the continuous ABE fermentation suffers from low …

Decarbonisation of the transport sector is essential to mitigate anthropogenic climate
change. Microbial metabolisms are already integral to the production of renewable …

Abstract 2016, was the 100 years anniversary from launching of the first industrial acetone-
butanol-ethanol (ABE) microbial production process. Despite this long period and also …
