Production of butylene glycol. Dr. Lynferd J. Wickerham selects the bacteria that will convert corn into butylene glycol at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This is one step in the research that led to the development of a fermentation process for converting corn into butylene glycol, which has proved successful on a semi-commercial scale. Butylene glycol, hitherto a relatively rare chemical, can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various purposes. In the laboratory, the scientists have succeeded in turning butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The next step is to find a way to carry out this process on a larger scale
