“…One promising possibility is fermentation of slop food waste, which is rich in carbohydrates and other nutrients, to fuels such as butanol or ethanol. The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum is an excellent candidate to perform this task due to its abilities to use a wide variety of carbohydrates and to produce fuels in the form of hydrogen gas, ethanol, and butanol [3][4][5]. C. acetobutylicum has been used at the industrial scale for production of the solvents acetone, butanol, and ethanol from plant based starches [4,6,7].…”

Background: Clostridium acetobutylicum fermentations are promising for production of commodity chemicals from heterogeneous biomass due to the wide range of substrates the organism can metabolize. Much work has been done to elucidate the pathways for utilization of aldoses, but little is known about metabolism of more oxidized substrates. Two oxidized hexose derivatives, gluconate and galacturonate, are present in low cost feedstocks, and their metabolism will contribute to overall metabolic output of these substrates.

“…Thus, higher solvents yield and significant sugar utilization makes rice straw a potential feedstock for biofuels production ( Ranjan, Khanna, and Moholkar 2013). Jurgens et al (2012) extensively reviewed and described the use of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of butanol using C. acetobutylicum or C. beijerinckii. They focused on the various aspects such as wood biomass pretreatment/fractionation, detoxification of wood hydrolysate for fermentation, bioprocess and metabolic engineering of Clostridium, and downstream processing of butanol from the fermentation broth.…”

Abstract:Among the renewable fuels, butanol has become an attractive, economic and sustainable choice because of cost elevation in petroleum fuel, diminishing the oil reserves and an increase of green house effect. Butanol can be derived from renewable sources by using the natural bio-resources and agro-wastes such as orchard wastes, peanut wastes, wheat straw, barley straw and grasses via Acetone Butanol Ethanol (ABE) process. On the other hand, butanol can be directly formed from chemical route involving catalysts also such as from ethanol through aldol condensation. This review presents extensive evaluation for the production of butanol deploying microbial and catalytic routes.

“…By increasing the prices of these substrate materials, it has been proposed to produce butanol by fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass. By use of lignocelluloses as substrate, three components, including acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE) are simultaneously produced, in which butanol is the major product (Ezeji et al, 2012;Jurgens et al, 2012;Wen et al, 2014a,b). Different biomass such as wheat straw (Quershi et al, 2007;Nanda et al, 2014), rice straw (Gottumukkala et al, 2013(Gottumukkala et al, , 2014, barley straw (Quershi et al, 2010a), corn stover (Parekh et al, 1988;Quershi et al, 2010b), corn cob and fibers (Marshal et al, 1992;Guo et al, 2013), palm kernel cake (Shukor et al, 2014), cassava starch (Li et al, 2014a,b), pinewood and timothy grass (Nanda et al, 2014), switch grass (Quershi et al, 2010b;Gao et al, 2014), sag pith (Linggang et al, 2013) and dried distillers' grains have been used as substrates for ABE fermentation by numerous Clostridium strains such as C. acetobutylicum, C. aurantibutyricum, C. beijerinckii , C. cadaveris, C. pasteurianum, C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum, C. saccharobutylicum, C. sporogenes and C. tetanomorphum (Inui et al, 2008;Quershi et al, 2013).…”

HIGHLIGHTS Various CBP strategies have been discussed. Recently, lignocellulosic biomass as the most abundant renewable resource has been widely considered for bioalcohols production. However, the complex structure of lignocelluloses requires a multi-step process which is costly and time consuming. Although, several bioprocessing approaches have been developed for pretreatment, saccharification and fermentation, bioalcohols production from lignocelluloses is still limited because of the economic infeasibility of these technologies. This cost constraint could be overcome by designing and constructing robust cellulolytic and bioalcohols producing microbes and by using them in a consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) system. This paper comprehensively reviews potentials, recent advances and challenges faced in CBP systems for efficient bioalcohols (ethanol and butanol) production from lignocellulosic and starchy biomass. The CBP strategies include using native single strains with cellulytic and alcohol production activities, microbial co-cultures containing both cellulytic and ethanologenic microorganisms, and genetic engineering of cellulytic microorganisms to be alcohol-producing or alcohol producing microorganisms to be cellulytic. Moreover, high-throughput techniques, such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, next generation sequencing and synthetic biology developed to explore novel microorganisms and powerful enzymes with high activity, thermostability and pH stability are also discussed. Currently, the CBP technology is in its infant stage, and ideal microorganisms and/or conditions at industrial scale are yet to be introduced. So, it is essential to bring into attention all barriers faced and take advantage of all the experiences gained to achieve a high-yield and low-cost CBP process.
