Biology Department Seminar -- Rescheduled

"Extractive Butanol Production from Lignicellulosic Biomass"

Presented by Byoung-In Sang, Energy and Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Seoul, Republic of Korea

Biobutanol, one of the promising biofuels for the future, has the potential to meet the needs of sustainable and green energy systems. However, biobutanol production has limitations such as low productivity, toxicity of butanol to solvent-producing bacteria, or degeneration during continuous fermentation. In this study, we examined the effect of membrane-extraction on the in situ removal of butanol from continuous reactor fermentation broth using immobilized butanol-producing bacteria with hydrophobic media. The solvent-producing strain was not affected adversely by membrane extraction.
