Can Xylose Be Fermented to Biofuel Butanol in Continuous Long-Term Reactors: If Not, What Options Are There?

This study applied concentrated xylose (60–250 g/L) medium to produce butanol (acetone butanol ethanol, or ABE). A control batch fermentation of 61 g/L initial glucose using <i>Clostridium beijerinckii</i> P260 resulted in a productivity and yield of 0.33 g/L·h and 0.43 g/g, respectively...
