Butanol production from cellulosic material by anaerobic co-culture of white-rot fungus Phlebia and bacterium Clostridium in consolidated bioprocessing.

Butanol production from lignocelluloses is desirable. Unfortunately, the known wild-types of butanol fermenting Clostridium bacteria are not capable of delignification and saccharification. Here we analyzed butanol production from cellulosic material using anaerobic co-culture of C.
