Carotenoids improve bacterial tolerance towards biobutanol through membrane stabilization

Microbial butanol production is an important sustainable energy option, but it is economically limited by poor process performance. Butanol is toxic and damages bacterial cell membranes, requiring cells to expend energy for survival rather than for butanol production. Here we explore the utility of...
