Turbidostat cultures of Clostridium acetobutylicum were analysed with respect to their fermentation products after steady states were obtained at various cell densities. It was found that at low densities the fermentation of glucose was essentially acidogenic in nature, whereas acetone and butanol w
Acetone and butanol can be produced by batch and continuous culture of CZostridium acetobutylicum on a nitrogen limited synthetic medium. When cells are grown on a high glucose concentration, conversion yields close to 0.3 g solvents/g glucose are obtained at pH 5.0. The fermentation kinetics are si
