Abstract
⺠Brown macroalgae contain high concentrations of mannitol and laminarin. ⺠Clostridium acetobutylicum ferments these seaweed extract substrates to butanol. ⺠Seaweed fermentation exhibited triauxic growth: glucose-mannitol-laminarin. ⺠Butanol yields in seaweed and pure glucose fermentations were comparable.
