Taiwan team engineers E. coli to produce n-butanol from glycerol

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have engineered the bacterium Escherichia coli to produce n-butanol from crude glycerol—a byproduct of the production of biodiesel. A commercialized bioprocess of n-butanol can be readily realized by a cost-effective feedstock. g/L n-butanol from 20 g/L crude glycerol.
