Abstract:
An improved process for the continuous production of butanol by fermentation of carbohydrates with C. acetobutylicum is disclosed. This process combines continuous inoculum production at a high dilution rate and cycling the fermentation broth through a material which adsorbs butanol whereby a vigorous cell population is maintained in the fermentation reactor for extended periods of time.
This invention relates generally to (1) processes for the production and isolation of a novel fructosyl transferase enzyme from the fermentation broth of Pullularia pullulans, (2) enzymatic transfructosylation of sucrose to produce a novel fructose-polymer containing substrate, and (3) production of fructose syrups containing greater than 55% fructose from said novel substrate.

Abstract:
Process for the production of xylose (dextrose) isomerase by means of a mutant strain of Streptomyces that proliferates in a culture medium that may be free of xylose. The xylose (dextrose) isomerase enzyme is therefore constitutive rather than induced.

Abstract:
A novel method for making n-butyl butyrate is disclosed. This method comprises passing a fermentation medium containing solvent-producing cells of C. acetobutylicum through a bed of activated carbon followed by desorbing the n-butyl butyrate from the carbon.
Process For The Production Of Fructose Polymers And High Fructose Syrups
This invention relates to a 1-step process for the preparation of fructose polymers and ethyl alcohol from sucrose. The fructose polymers are especially useful for production of high fructose syrups.
Process For The Production Of High Fructose Syrups And Ethanol
This invention relates to a 2-step process for the preparation of fructose polymers and ethyl alcohol from sucrose. The fructose polymers are especially useful for the production of high fructose syrups.

Abstract:
Levulose-bearing syrups are produced by passing a dextrose solution through a column or bed of an immobilized dextrose isomerase enzyme preparation. The useful life of the enzyme preparation is extended by conducting the isomerization initially at a low operating temperature, then increasing the temperature of operation after an initial decrease in enzyme activity has been observed. Also disclosed is an improved immobilized xylose isomerase enzyme preparation which is prepared by contacting a solution of xylose isomerase with particulate basic magnesium carbonate. The novel immobilized enzyme preparation is useful in enzymatically isomerizing dextrose solutions to levulose-bearing syrups.
