Project overview
Systematic evaluation of pure-strain versus co-culture fermentation strategies for maximizing biobutanol yields from lignocellulosic and waste-derived substrates.
Published (2025): "Pure or blend: Microbial cultures in the race to optimize butanol production" — Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Vol. 224, Article 116131.
Also contributed book chapters on butanol-producing strain characterization, gas stripping recovery, and vacuum-assisted fermentation separation in Renewable Butanol: Fermentation, Process Technology and Biofuel Applications (2026).
