Oil palm empty fruit bunch as alternative substrate for acetone–butanol–ethanol production by Clostridium butyricum EB6

Acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) production from renewable resources has been widely reported. In this study, Clostridium butyricum EB6 was employed for ABE fermentation using fermentable sugar derived from treated oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). A higher amount of ABE (2.61 g/l) was produced in a...
