法国生物技术机构全球生物能源公司(Global Bioenergies)日前宣布,该公司以木糖为原料通过发酵途径生产生物基异丁烯获得成功。该公司曾帅先开发了利用从谷类(如小麦或玉米)获取的葡萄糖生产生物异丁烯的工艺。2015年早些时候又宣布,该工艺的原料也能涵盖从农林废弃物获取的“第二代”糖。原料糖可以是复杂的混合物,包括六碳葡萄糖和五碳 Global Bioenergies, a French biotechnology company, announced today that it has succeeded in producing bio-based isobutene via fermentation using xylose as a raw material. The company had pioneered the process of producing bioisobutylene using glucose obtained from cereals such as wheat or corn. Earlier in 2015, the raw material for the process was also announced to cover “second-generation” sugar from agricultural and forestry wastes. Raw sugar can be a complex mixture of six-carbon glucose and five carbons
