RESUMEN
Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation was performed with sugarcane bagasse (SCB) hydrolysate using Clostridium beijerinckii strains. A cost-effective SCB medium was developed with no enzymatic hydrolysis and no supplementation of extra carbon source or expensive nitrogen source. One of the C. beijerinckii strains studied was able to produce butanol with butanol productivity of 1.23 g/L/day with butanol yield of 0.18 g/g of sugars from the developed medium. High utilization rate of both glucose and xylose was observed in SCB medium during ABE fermentation. This study shows that SCB is a promising substrate for cellulosic biobutanol production.
