Clostridium acetobutylicum, the biocatalyst in biobutanol production from biomass As scientists and researchers earnestly delve for the most environmentally sound source of energy, that is, renewable, efficiently reduces greenhouse gases emissions, and in no competition with food production, a high-yield (87% of theoretical maximum) biobutanol production using metabolically engineered bacterium comes into the scene. Biobutanol, a liquid […]

Glycerin is the most important component in many of the products we use, from soap to cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. We even use it for biofuel production, algae growth and fuel cells. But it seems that in this moment glycerin really represents an issue as the large quantity developed by biofuel refineries cannot be assimilated by the market. The excess glycerin is incinerated on the market or illegally disposed.
