Utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as sustainable feedstock for the bioproduction of n-butanol as an advanced biofuel: current progress and future perspectives
n-Butanol is a promising advanced biofuel and versatile platform chemical. However, its fermentative production by solventogenic clostridial strains remains economically limited by reliance on costly edible feedstocks of corn and sugarcane. Lignocellulosic biomass provides an abundant, non-food alternative, but its eff...
