Genetic engineering of Clostridium thermocellum DSM1313 for enhanced ethanol production
BACKGROUND The twin problem of shortage in fossil fuel and increase in environmental pollution can be partly addressed by blending of ethanol with transport fuel. Increasing the ethanol production for this purpose without affecting the food security of the countries would require the use of cellulosic plant materials as substrate. Clostridium thermocellum is an anaerobic thermophilic bacterium ...
متن کاملIncrease in Ethanol Yield via Elimination of Lactate Production in an Ethanol-Tolerant Mutant of Clostridium thermocellum
Large-scale production of lignocellulosic biofuel is a potential solution to sustainably meet global energy needs. One-step consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) is a potentially advantageous approach for the production of biofuels, but requires an organism capable of hydrolyzing biomass to sugars and fermenting the sugars to ethanol at commercially viable titers and yields. Clostridium thermocellum...
متن کاملThe ethanol pathway from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum improves ethanol production in Clostridium thermocellum.
Clostridium thermocellum ferments cellulose, is a promising candidate for ethanol production from cellulosic biomass, and has been the focus of studies aimed at improving ethanol yield. Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum ferments hemicellulose, but not cellulose, and has been engineered to produce ethanol at high yield and titer. Recent research has led to the identification of four genes in...
متن کاملMetabolic Adaption of Ethanol-Tolerant Clostridium thermocellum
Clostridium thermocellum is a major candidate for bioethanol production via consolidated bioprocessing. However, the low ethanol tolerance of the organism dramatically impedes its usage in industry. To explore the mechanism of ethanol tolerance in this microorganism, systematic metabolomics was adopted to analyse the metabolic phenotypes of a C. thermocellum wild-type (WT) strain and an ethanol...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of Clostridium thermocellum in Cellulolytic Consortium after Artificial Reconstruction to Enhance Ethanol Production
The cellulolytic and ethanologenic bacterial community is a promising candidate for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulose. In this study, by artificially changing the ratio of Clostridium thermocellum in the cellulolytic consortium H, ethanol production was increased by 72.7%. Metatranscriptomic analysis was used to elucidate the contribution of Clostridium thermocellum to ethanol pr...
