Summary. It is generally accepted that the fast accumulation of acetic acid and butyric acid triggers the acid crash. In this new process, a butyric acid bacterium (Clostridium tyrobutyricum) will be used to covert glucose and xylose to butyric acid first, and then the produced butyric acid will be converted to butanol by Clostridium acetobutylicum in a separate bioreactor. Fer Summary. Clostridium tyrobutyricum, a Gram-positive, chemotrophic, spore-forming anaerobe, can produce butyric acid as the main product at a high titer, yield, and productivity from glucose and xylose (Jiang et al., 2010, Jiang et al., 2011), two main sugars present in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates.

Butyric acid dominant volatile fatty acids ... Dams et al. Active butyrate kinase (Buk) and phosphotransbutyrylase (Ptb) were purified in three steps: ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose and affinity chromatography on Matrex Red A from recombinant Escherichia coli K2006 (pJC7). Clostridium acetobutylicum naturally produces acetone as well as butanol and ethanol. Supplementation of exogenous acetic and butyric acids, the metabolic uncoupler carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone, or decanol to the oleyl alcohol extractive fermentation helped to reinstate the normal butyric acid concentration profile. According to limited genetic tools, only a few rational metabolic engineering approaches were conducted in the past to improve the production of butanol, an advanced biofuel. The con- centration of butyric acid increased and subse- quently decreased in the control fermentation. 2019 Apr;42(4):583-592. doi: 10.1007/s00449-018-02063-9.
