1·"The most important about this discovery is TU-103's ability to produce butanol directly from cellulose," said Mullin.
“关于这个发现最重要的是 TU-103 从纤维素直接生产丁醇的能力。”穆林说。
2·Like ethanol, butanol is an alcohol.
同乙醇一样，丁醇也是一种乙醇。
3·Under the terms of this 12-month contract, Protonex will adapt its existing propane-fueled SOFC systems to operate on liquid fuels, such as butanol, gasoline, kerosene, and desulfurized JP-8.
在12个月的合同期限中，质子公司将对其现有的丙烷燃料SOFC系统进行改进，使其可以使用液态燃料，如丁醇、汽油、煤油和去硫JP-8。
4·Yeast, for instance, are more tolerant to ethanol and butanol, he says-but E. coli grow faster.
比如，酵母比大肠杆菌更耐受乙醇和丁醇，但是大肠杆菌生长更快。
5·A new microbe engineering trick could potentially make butanol, a promising biofuel, so cheaply that it could compete with ethanol.
