Abstract
Clostridium thermocellum strain SS8 produced 0.25g of ethanol and 0.24 g of acetic acid per g cellulose consumed. Enhancement in ethanol prod uction upto 0.39g/g substrate was observed in the presence of 0.15mM c oncentration of sodium azide and 7% polyethyleneglycol along with sign ificant repression in acetic acid formation.
