Popis:	Metabolic activities of some anaerobic Clostridia strains result in the production of solvents, acetone, butanol, ethanol, iso-propanol etc., and hydrogen gas, all of interest to industry. Hexose sugars are readily utilized for this purpose, so are hexose- and pentose-based polysaccharides. Pentoses can also be utilized, however, the production rates observed are somewhat lower. Revived interest in the process is currently gaining momentum and new techniques of genetic manipulation of microorganisms coupled together with novel bioprocess technology, solvent recovery techniques, and minicomputer process control/optimization, offer a promise of resulting in an efficient and competitive process modification. Wood, agricultural residues and waste liquors constitute a cheap source of renewable raw materials for industrial solvent production.
