Abstract

In Colombia, the government has implement policy instruments aimed at promoting the production of biofuels of second and third generation through incentives and the National Development Plan. Standard laboratory tests were preformed in which the carbon and nitrogen ratio was evaluated. As carbon sources were used: glucose, sucrose, xylose and glycerin. In test tubes, the maximum yield obtained was 0.736 g g-1 with 9.36 g L-1 of ABE using glucose. While at shake flask using glucose or sucrose as carbon source were produced 10.16 g L-1 of ABE and 8.46 g L-1, respectively. This preliminary characterization allows to consider the evaluation of solvent production using Colombian agro-industrial by-products using the strain C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052.
