Abstract: Production of 2,3-Butanediol from corncob was carried out by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) process.The optimal SSF conditions were obtained as 100-120 g/L substrates were treated by 25 FPIU/g substrate cellulose, 15 IU/g substrate cellobiase and 300 IU/g substrate xylanase under pH 6.0 and 36 ℃ environment.The concentration,productivity and conversion rate of 2,3-butanediol were 46.02 g/L, 1.28 g/(L·h) and 0.424 g/g( based on cellulose and hemicellulose) respectively by SSF treatment for 36 h when the substrate concentration is 120 g/L.
