Lignocellulosic biomass has been increasingly used for biofuel production, such as biohydrogen and biobutanol. However, the enzymes used in hydrolysis result in a large increase in production cost. To reduce the enzyme involvement in lignocellulosic butanol, a novel two-stage fermentation process wa...
