In this project, the partners (GBL and Lucite) will determine the technical feasibility of engineering Clostridia to produce bioacetone in high yield (as opposed to biobutanol) using fermentation. The partners will also determine the economic feasibility and commercial viability of producing acetone as the sole fermentation product. It is envisaged that any loss in yield will be compensated for by savings in purification (acetone is highly volatile and relatively easy to recover from the fermentation broth).

在该项目中，合作伙伴（GBL和Lucite）将确定工程梭菌的技术可行性，以利用发酵高产生物丙酮（而不是生物丁醇）。合作伙伴还将确定生产丙酮作为唯一发酵产品的经济可行性和商业可行性。可以设想，任何产率损失将通过纯化的节省来补偿（丙酮是高度挥发性的，并且相对容易从发酵液中回收）。
