Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B-596

Microbial formation of acetone, isopropanol, and butanol is predominantly performed by bacteria of the genus Clostridium. This ability has been industrially exploited during the last 100 years. The solvents are important feedstocks for the chemical and biofuel industry.丙酮、异丙醇与丁醇的微生物合成主要由梭菌属（Clostridium）细菌介导完成。该合成能力在过去百年间已被成功应用于工业化生产。上述溶剂是化学工业与生物燃料工业的重要原料。
