Meta-Analysis and Functional Validation of Nutritional Requirements of Solventogenic Clostridia Growing under Butanol Stress Conditions and Coutilization of D-Glucose and D-Xylose
APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 77(13), 4473–4485.
Contributors: H. Heluane n, M. Dagher n & J. Bruno-Bárcena n
MeSH headings : Biofuels; Biotechnology / methods; Butanols / toxicity; Clostridium beijerinckii / drug effects; Clostridium beijerinckii / growth & development; Clostridium beijerinckii / metabolism; Culture Media / chemistry; Fermentation; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial; Glucose / metabolism; Stress, Physiological; Xylose / metabolism
TL;DR:
Results indicated that C. beijerinckii SA-1 was able to coferment hexose/pentose sugar mixtures in the absence of a glucose repression effect, and the analysis suggests that the solvent and acid resistance mechanisms found in this strain are differentially regulated compared to strain NRRL B-527.
