Effect of substrate concentration and agitation rate on butanol production from POME by Clostridium beijerinckii

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the largest by product generated from palm oil mills, about 50 million tonnes annually. POME has a potential substrate for acetone, butanol and ethanol production using Clostridium beijerinckii. This research mainly studied on the direct use of POME as fermentation m...
