Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
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.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for producing butyric acid comprising fermenting a lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate with a C. tyrobutyricum strain. 2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the C. tyrobutyricum strain is RPT-4213. 3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate is made from agricultural biomass residue selected from the group consisting of wheat straw, corn fiber, corn stover, rice hull, and switchgrass. 4 . The method of claim 3 wherein the lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate is wheat straw hydrolysate. 5 . A composition for use in a method for producing butyric acid comprising a seed culture of C. tyrobutyricum RPT-4213 and a fermentation medium. 6 . A system for producing butyric acid comprising a bioreactor, a seed culture composition comprising C. tyrobutyricum RPT-4213, a lignocellulosic hydrolysate. 7 . The system of claim 6 wherein said lignocellulosic hydrolysate is selected from the group consisting of wheat straw, corn fiber, corn stover, rice hull, and switchgrass.
