Abstract
This study explores the sustainable production of n-butanol from wheat husk through a two-step bioconversion process. Wheat husk, an abundant agricultural residue, was first fermented into butyric acid using Bacillus subtilis. The resultant butyric acid was then converted into n-butanol using Staphylococcus sciuri. The process leverages biological fermentation to create value-added chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, offering an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemical methods. Two steps fermentation process were carried to increase the final yield of the product as well as to check the effect on n-butanol yield with butyric acid. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to verify both the production and purity of n-butanol. The findings suggest that wheat husk can serve as an efficient feedstock for n-butanol production, potentially contributing to biofuel and green chemical industries. Also, the results show that with optimizing the fermentation parameters, we can obtain maximum yield of butanol from butyric acid fermented from wheat husk.
Keywords: n-Butanol, wheat husk, Bacillus subtilis, lignocelluloses biomass, Staphylococcus sciuri
