Abstract
⺠Clostridium themocellum/Clostridium thermolacticum co-culture promises to be an efficient way to convert lignocellulosics into ethanol. ⺠The co-culture shortens the lag time of fermentation for 48 h as compared to mono-cultures. ⺠pH = 9 is necessary to obtain maximum ethanol yield for co-culture fermentations. ⺠Higher pH is required for applying this co-culture on native aspen due to the acetyl groups present. ⺠The positive effect of initial ethanol on ethanol production reaches a maximum at 4 g/L of initial ethanol.
