In this review, the microbiological aspects of biobutanol production are reflected and the microbial producers of butanol (both natural, i.e., members of the Clostridium genus, and recombinant), obtained by genetic modification of Clostridia and other microorganisms, are characterised. Keywords: biofuel, butanol, renewable feedstock, clostridia, recombinant butanol producers, Clostridium acetobutylicum
