| Popis: | A simple procedure for screening Clostridium acetobutylicum for biotransformations to produce alcohols was developed by supplementing rich medium with glucose and butyric acid to obtain butanol-producing cultures. No special apparatus was required to maintain anaerobic conditions. The validity of the method was established by demonstrating that the cultures could reduce alicyclic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols. |
