Article Synopsis
  • * Periodical nutrient additions allowed stable butanol production over 360 hours in repeated-batch culture, achieving an average productivity of 0.28 g/L/h and a yield of 0.32 g/g-starch.
  • * Continuous culture experiments reached higher butanol productivity (0.63 g/L/h) and yield (0.36 g/g-starch), demonstrating that a fibrous bed bioreactor and biofilm formation can protect microbes in challenging conditions.
