Butanol can be produced from renewable sources via the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE)
fermentation route to create biobutanol or from fossil fuel to create petrobutanol. Despite the …

Using lignocellulosic biomass for the production of renewable biofuel provides a sustainable
and promising solution to the crisis of energy and environment. However, the processes of …

Measures of microbial growth, used as indicators of cellular stress, are sometimes quantified
at a single time-point. In reality, these measurements are compound representations of …

The microbial membrane serves as a biological barrier that separates the interior of cells
from the external environment, thus playing an important role in tolerance to stress …

In the last decades, fermentative production of n‐butanol has regained substantial interest
mainly owing to its use as drop‐in‐fuel. The use of lignocellulose as an alternative to …
