Ethanol Production of Co-cultures using various Biological Feedstocks

Abstract

As the search for a renewable source for fuel continues, ethanol becomes a much more relevant topic of research. There are multiple different avenues for ethanol production, mostly by chemical and biological means. Certain bacteria, such as some Clostridium strains, have been known for their fermentation reactions using long-chain carbohydrates as feedstocks and are thought of as a way to produce this alternative fuel supply.
