Carbon and electron flow in Clostridium cellulolyticum grown in chemostat culture on synthetic medium.
Previous results indicated poor sugar consumption and early inhibition of metabolism and growth when Clostridium cellulolyticum was cultured on medium containing cellobiose and yeast extract. Changing from complex medium to a synthetic medium had a strong effect on (i) the specific cellobiose consumption, which was increased threefold; and (ii) the electron flow, since the NADH/NAD+ ratios rang...
متن کاملRegulation of carbon and electron flow in Clostridium acetobutylicum grown in chemostat culture at neutral pH on mixtures of glucose and glycerol.
The metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum was manipulated, at neutral pH and in chemostat culture, by changing the overall degree of reduction of the substrate, using mixtures of glucose and glycerol. Cultures grown on glucose alone produced only acids, and the intracellular enzymatic pattern indicated the absence of butyraldehyde dehydrogenase activity and very low levels of coenzyme A-tran...
متن کاملRegulation of carbon and electron flow in Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266 grown on glucose-glycerol mixtures.
The metabolism of Clostridium butyricum was manipulated at pH 6.5 and in phosphate-limited chemostat culture by changing the overall degree of reduction of the substrate using mixtures of glucose and glycerol. Cultures grown on glucose alone produced only acids (acetate, butyrate, and lactate) and a high level of hydrogen. In contrast, when glycerol was metabolized, 1,3-propanediol became the m...
متن کاملCellulose catabolism by Clostridium cellulolyticum growing in batch culture on defined medium.
A reinvestigation of cellulose degradation by Clostridium cellulolyticum in a bioreactor with pH control of the batch culture and using a defined medium was performed. Depending on cellulose concentration, the carbon flow distribution was affected, showing the high flexibility of the metabolism. With less than 6.7 g of cellulose liter(-1), acetate, ethanol, H(2), and CO(2) were the main end pro...
متن کاملProduction of medium-chain fatty acids and higher alcohols by a synthetic co-culture grown on carbon monoxide or syngas
BACKGROUND Synthesis gas, a mixture of CO, H2, and CO2, is a promising renewable feedstock for bio-based production of organic chemicals. Production of medium-chain fatty acids can be performed via chain elongation, utilizing acetate and ethanol as main substrates. Acetate and ethanol are main products of syngas fermentation by acetogens. Therefore, syngas can be indirectly used as a substrate ...
