[Mutants with high butanol production from a strain of solventogenic Clostridium isolated from olive black-water]. / Mutantes con alta producción de butanol de una cepa de Clostridium solventogénica aislada de alpechín.

ABSTRACT

Butanol high producing mutants of a solventogenic Clostridium sp. capable of degrading olive black water, were selected according to ethanol or butanol resistance after treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Mutants were quickly screened from isolated colonies and then characterized in standard culture conditions.
