Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods for producing butyric acid comprising fermenting a lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate using C. tyrobutyricum strain RPT-4213 under anaerobic conditions using dilute acid-pretreated hydrolysates of wheat straw, corn fiber, corn stover, rice hull, and switchgrass, for example.
Claims7
