TLDR
Acetone-butanol fermentation by Clostridium aurantibutyricum ATCC 17777 utilizing a model medium for palm oil mill effluent (POME) was investigated and resulted in a reasonable oil hydrolysis rate between those obtained in cultures with constant pHs of 6.2 or 5.5, and higher solvent productivities than in either of the single-pH cultures.About:

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment and bioresources recovery using ultrafiltration membrane: Effect of pressure on membrane fouling
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt was made to examine the effect of applied pressure on membrane fouling that might influence the potential use of ultrafiltration (UF) membrane in treating as well as recovering the bioresources, namely protein and carbohydrate from complex feed like palm oil mill effluent (POME).

Acetone, Isopropanol, and Butanol Production by Clostridium beijerinckii (syn. Clostridium butylicum) and Clostridium aurantibutyricum
TL;DR: Thirty-four strains representing 15 species of anaerobic bacteria were screened for acetone, isopropanol, and n-butanol production and it was shown that C. beijerinckii, C. aurantibutyricum, and C. acetobutylicum are distinct species.

Acyl-CoA oxidase from Candida tropicalis
TL;DR: The preparation of a highly purified acyl-CoA oxidase from the cell extract of an n-alkane-utilizing yeast, Candida tropicalis, is described, and it can be crystallized from ammonium sulfate solutions without an increase in specific activity, and is homogeneous on ultracentrifuge and disc electrophoresis.
