A mesophilic Clostridium species that produces butanol from monosaccharides and hydrogen from polysaccharides

► Isolation of a wild-type strain BOH3 that converts monosaccharides to butanol. ► This solventogenic strain also has cellulolytic and xylanolytic capabilities. ► Strain BOH3 shows comparable hydrogen production with other thermophilic bacteria. ► Provide better understanding of solventogenic performance by Clostridium species.
