Enzymology of Acetone-Butanol-Isopropanol Formation Progress Report: 1992
Description:
Our research primarily involves Clostridium which is a species containing strains with the rare ability To produce the useful chemical isopropanol, in addition to acetone, butanol and ethanol. In related studies, we also included another solvent-producing organism, and Bacillus macerans, which is a facultative anaerobe and produces a high level of acetone and ethanol under anaerobic conditions. Because B. macerans does not produce butyric ac id or butanol, it provides a simpler system for the s…
