BATCH FERMENTATION OF D-GLUCOSE/CELLOBIOSE MIXTURES BY CLOSTRIDIUM ACETOBUTYLICUM ATCC 824: ENERGETIC AND CARBON SOURCE REGULATION

摘要

Lignocellulosic biomass presents an interesting alternative to fossil carbon sources as a source of renewable energy that respects the environment. Indeed, this abundant resource can be converted by a wide range of thermal, chemical and biological techniques to compounds that can be used as substrate in anaerobic fermentation to produce biofuels and building blocks.
