One hundred and seventy-eight new butanol-acetone producing bacteria related to saccharolytic clostridia were isolated from agricultural sources in Colombia and their fermentation potential was evaluated. Thirteen isolates produced more total solvents from glucose than Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. The isolates with the highest single solvent production were IBUN 125C and IBUN 18A with 0.46 mol butanol and 0.96 mol ethanol formed from 1 mol glucose, yielding 25. 2 and 29.1 g l(-1) total solvents, respectively, which is close to the maximum values described to date. Most of the new isolates produced exoenzymes for the hydrolysis of starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, xylan, polygalacturonic acid, inulin and chitosan. Together with the high efficiency of solvent production, these hydrolytic isolates may be useful for the direct fermentation of biomass. According to their physiological profile, the most solvent-productive isolates could be classified as strains of C. acetobutylicum, Clostridium beijerinckii, and Clostridium NCP262.
