ABSTRACT:
In the disclosed cellulase-catalyzed fermentation process for converting a cellulose- or hemicellulose-containing starting material to an organic fuel, the fermentation medium contains an efficient combination of Clostridium organisms or their enzymes. One preferred combination of organisms includes Cl. cellobioparum and Cl. acetobutylicum. Conversion of the cellulose to a liquid hydrocarbon oxidate proceeds in good yield with relativey minimal carboxylic acid production. The nondistillable residue is suitable for use as a fertilizer.
