Abstract

The commonest carbohydrate raw material used in the acetone-butanol fermentation is blackstrap molasses. Blackstrap molasses contains relatively high levels of salts, especially divalent elements, which affect the microbial growth and the formation of acetone and butanol by Clostridium acetobutylicum. Therefore, treatments of blackstrap molasses by different techniques were tested in order to increase the titres of the microbial metabolites.
