Clostridium acetobutylicum,
ABE process, (Acetone Butanol Ethanol fermentation process), yielding 3 parts of acetone, 6 of n-butanol, and 1 of ethanol. Acetone was used in the important wartime task of casting cordite. The alcohols were used to produce vehicle fuels and synthetic rubber
.
Unlike
glycerin
.
In genetic engineering
In 2008, a strain of reductase - came from Clostridium acetobutylicum.
