Table 4 The performance of the best mutants against the wild-type in absence of butyrate supplementation on the ABE fermentation parameters from the substrate, the butanol productivity, and the maximal specific growth rates for C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and mutant FS-JWS-SN-79-6 were determined as shown below.
Bacterium | Butanol Production (g/L) | Butanol productivity (g/L/h) | Butanol yield (g/g) | Solvents (ABE) yield (g/g) | Acetone yield (g/g) | Ethanol yield (g/g) | Maximal specific growth rate ÎĽMax (1/h) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 | 7.73 | 0.017 | 0.164 | 0.318 | 0.083 | 0.031 | 0.236 |
Mutant FS-JWS-SN-79-6 | 18.43 | 0.048 | 0.262 | 0.413 | 0.126 | 0.068 | 0.242 |
