Abstract
Adaptive engineering of microorganisms to create mutants exhibiting high butanol tolerance and productivity. Mutant strains are obtained through the fermentation of parental strains in a fibrous bed bioreactor in the presence of butanol. Also provided are methods of producing butanol using mutant strains in ABE fermentation. Butanol production may be furthered by gas stripping and distillation. Also provided are mutant proteins for increasing butanol production in a microorganism.
