Emerging Technologies for Biobutanol Production via Syngas Fermentation

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biobutanol production from syngas is promising but limited by microbial energy conservation and gas–liquid mass transfer. This review integrates advances in cultivation control and bioreactor engineering with next‐generation biological tools including metabolic rewiring, co‐cultivation and chain elongation, and electro‐fermentation to enable carbon ...

Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 4, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1656-1676, April 2026.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Development of a co‐culture of Ureibacillus thermosphaericus and Cupriavidus taiwanensis for inhibitors removal from hemicellulose prehydrolysate

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 42, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
For biofuels production, hemicellulose pre‐hydrolysate is considered as an attractive feedstock rich in fermentable sugars. The pre‐hydrolysate derived from lignocellulosic biomass comprises, along with sugars, several inhibitors which can hamper its efficient conversion.

Is a Malleable Active Site Loop the Key to High Substrate Promiscuity? Hybrid, Biocatalytic Route to Structurally Diverse Taxoid Side Chains with Remarkable Dual Stereocontrol

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 36, September 1, 2025.
A highly stereoselective, dynamic reductive kinetic resolution (DYRKR) entry into myriad Taxotere‐like side chains with Clostridium acetobutylicum alcohol dehydrogenase (CaADH) enzyme is reported. Follow‐on cross couplings expand the structural diversity of the library (36 total examples).

Reviving the Weizmann process for commercial n-butanol production

Nature Communications, 2018
Organic solvent n-butanol is produced mainly by petrochemical method. Here, the authors revive the historical Weizmann process by engineering Clostridium acetobutylicum strain and developing low pressure distillation and high cell density cultures for n ...

Fermentation of oxidized hexose derivatives by Clostridium acetobutylicum [PDF]

Microbial Cell Factories, 2014
Clostridium acetobutylicum fermentations are promising for production of commodity chemicals from heterogeneous biomass due to the wide range of substrates the organism can metabolize. Much work has been done to elucidate the pathways for utilization of aldoses, but little is known about metabolism of more oxidized substrates.

Hydrogen fuel production from sugarcane and its byproducts – a critical review

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 352-376, January/February 2026.
Abstract The transition to a low‐carbon economy has intensified the search for sustainable hydrogen (H2) production routes. Sugarcane and its byproducts, such as bagasse, molasses and vinasse, have emerged as promising feedstocks due to their ready availability and renewable nature. However, comprehensive evaluations of the efficiency, limitations, and
