Novel Clostridium Species That Converts Wheat Straw and Switchgrass Hydrolysates Into Butyric Acid

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to methods for producing butyric acid comprising fermenting a lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate using C. tyrobutyricum strain RPT-4213 under anaerobic conditions using dilute acid-pretreated hydrolysates of wheat straw, corn fiber, corn stover, rice hull, and switchgrass, for example.
