Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for preparing hexanol or butanol and a method for preparing hexanol or butanol using ethanol and synthesis gas, wherein the composition according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a medium composition containing ethanol as an active ingredient, and by culturing a strain producing hexanol or butanol after inoculating with a medium containing the composition and supplying synthesis gas, hexanol or butanol can be prepared economically using inexpensive synthesis gas, and hexanol or butanol can be prepared with high efficiency by focusing the flow of a carbon source consumed in a fermentation process to the production of hexanol or butanol.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol, wherein the alcohol is one or more alcohol selected from a group consisting of hexanol and butanol, the composition comprises ethanol as an active ingredient in an amount of 0.2-20 g/L based on the total volume of a medium in which the medium composition is comprised, the alcohol is prepared from synthesis gas, and the composition is for culturing a strain producing the alcohol. 2. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the strain producing the alcohol is one or more selected from a group consisting of Clostridium carboxidivorans and Clostridium ragsdalei. 3. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the synthesis gas comprises carbon monoxide. 4. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 3 , wherein the synthesis gas further comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. 5. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the synthesis gas is an additionally supplied synthesis gas. 6. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is prepared at 25-37° C. 7. The culture medium composition for preparing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises ethanol as an active ingredient in an amount of 1.1-20 g/L based on the total volume of a medium in which the medium composition is comprised.
