The production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) by clostridium, which is a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic microorganism, is recently studied for bio-based chemicals and fuels. However, raw material cost is the most critical for the economics. Medium cost usallaly accounts for 65 % of total direct expense. In this study, non-edible biomass such as palm residues was utilized for the production of butanol as a main carbon source. The final ABE titer of palm biomass hydrolysate decreased campared to glucose medium. On the other hand, total ABE yield of palm biomass hydrolysate was enhanced compared to glucose medium.
