ABSTRACT:
An improved process for the production of butanol by fermentation of carbon-containing compounds with C. acetobutylicum is disclosed. The fermentation is conducted in an aqueous medium containing a sufficient concentration of dissolved carbon monoxide to give increased yields of butanol while suppressing the formation of hydrogen and acetone. This fermentation also gives increased conversion of butyric acid to solvents.
