An economic evaluation of biological conversion of wheat straw to butanol: A biofuel (2013, background): “During recent years there has been a surge of developing new microbial cultures that produce butanol [39–42].”
Fermentative butanol production by clostridia (2008, background): “Also, branched chain 4-carbon alcohols including isobutanol, 2- methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol have higher octane numbers compared with n-butanol (Atsumi et al., 2008), and thus are good candidates as fuel additives.”

Deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass to fuels and chemicals. (2011, background): “Reduction of the carbohydrate streams to fuels, which is the last step, is an area of active research spanning cofermentation of pentose and hexose sugars to ethanol (1), metabolic pathway engineering for production of higher alcohols and hydrocarbons (9, 10), and application of catalytic routes to ”
Driving Forces Enable High-Titer Anaerobic 1-Butanol Synthesis in Escherichia coli (2011, methodology): “The crt-hbd fragment was created by individually amplifying crt with primers crtfxba and crtrSOE and hbd with hbdfSOE and hbdrxba using pJCL60 (2) as a”
Growth and solvent production by Clostridium pasteurianum ATCC® 6013™ utilizing biodiesel‐derived crude glycerol as the sole carbon source (2009, background): “strains is about 5 wt % (g butanol per g glucose), and they also produce significant amounts of ethanol, formate, pyruvate, lactate, and succinate [23].”
The economics of current and future biofuels (2009, background): “Newly engineered Escherichia coli strains as the microbial cultures have been developed to produce isobutanol (Atsumi et al. 2007, 2008; Hanai et al. 2007), in addition to n-butanol production.”
