Abstract:The present study investigated the utilization of algal biomass to produce bio-oil and acetone,
butanol, and ethanol (ABE) products. Novel Clostridia fusants (C. beijernickii + C.
thermocellum-CbCt and C. acetobutylicum + C. thermocellocum-CaCt) were developed using
protoplast fusion technique and subsequently subjected to UV radiation for strain enhancement.
Resultant mutated fusants showed improvement in thermal stability and higher resistance to
biobutanol toxicity. Algal biomass was initially subjected to … Show more
