“…However, it is important to highlight that the choice of pretreatment (physical and/or chemical) of the lignocellulosic material can lead to the generation of undesirable by-products, e.g., furfural (FF) and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), in greater or lesser proportions, affecting the growth of microorganisms (AMIRI; KARIMI, 2018). Butanol, for example, is an alcohol that has attracted the attention of researchers for presenting properties, such as higher miscibility with gasoline, higher energy density, lower volatility, and better biodegradability (ZETTY-ARENAS et al, 2019), being a promising biofuel, beyond other applications in plastics, solvents, paints and adhesives industry (BURHANI et al, 2019;ZHEN et al, 2020).…”
