Production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol from biomass of the green seaweed Ulva lactuca

- Ulva lactuca was characterized as feedstock for the acetone, butanol and ethanol fermentation.
- Hydrolysates were obtained using mild pretreatment conditions and commercial cellulases.
- Ulva lactuca hydrolysate was used as substrate for fermentation by two different strains.
- Rhamnose was utilized by C. beijerinckii for production of 1,2-propanediol.
