Optimization of biobutanol production by clostridium species upm-a1 with liquid central composite design (ccd)

Optimization of biobutanol production by Clostridium species UPM-A1 was conducted using Central Composite Design (CCD) with liquid pineapple waste as carbon source. The Design Expert® Software (State-Ease Inc., 2021 Ease Hennepin Ave, Suite 191, Minneapolis, MN, 55413) Version 6.0.4 was employed for...

The Design Expert® Software (State-Ease Inc., 2021 Ease Hennepin Ave, Suite 191, Minneapolis, MN, 55413) Version 6.0.4 was employed for generating the experimental design which consisted of three significant parameters, including temperature, yeast extract, and pH.
