Continuous Fermentation of <em>Clostridium tyrobutyricum</em> with Partial Cell Recycle as a Long-Term Strategy for Butyric Acid Production

Continuous Fermentation of <em>Clostridium tyrobutyricum</em> with Partial Cell Recycle as a Long-Term Strategy for Butyric Acid Production

In making alternative fuels from biomass feedstocks, the production of butyric acid is a key intermediate in the two-step production of butanol. The fermentation of glucose via <em>Clostridium tyrobutyricum </em>to butyric acid produces undesirable byproducts, including l...
