Metabolomics and Fluxomics of Clostridium acetobutylicum Part 1: Systems-Level Kinetic Flux Profiling Elucidates a Complete TCA Cycle

چکیده
Project Goals (Abstracts 97-99): Microbial biofuel (i.e. hydrogen and butanol) production holds great promise as a source of renewable clean energy. A critical step towards more efficient biofuel production is improved understanding of the regulation of biofuel-related metabolism and the development of models that are sufficiently accurate to enable rational control of the network behavior. With the long term aim of enabling such control, we propose to develop integrated experimental-computational technologies for quantitative dissection of microbial biofuel-producing metabolism. These tools will be broadly applicable to many microbial biofuel producers. We plan to illustrate them with the organism Clostridium acetobutylicum.

Metabolome remodeling during the acidogenic-solventogenic transition in Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The fermentation carried out by the biofuel producer Clostridium acetobutylicum is characterized by two distinct phases. Acidogenesis occurs during exponential growth and involves the rapid production of acids (acetate and butyrate). Solventogenesis initiates as cell growth slows down and involves the production of solvents (butanol, acetone, and ethanol). Using metabolomics, isotope tracers, a...
متن کاملUnderstanding Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 Metabolism Using Genome- Scale Thermodynamics and Metabolomics-based Modeling
Biobutanol has a potential application as a biofuel and can replace gasoline as an alternative fuel. However, the productivity of the biobutanol process has to be increased significantly, before it can be commercialized. Clostridium acetobutylicum has been the primary microbial host used for biobutanol production. Consequently, systems biology based genome-scale metabolic model of C. acetobutyl...

Bacterial metabolism of polysaccharides from plant detritus into acids and solvents is an essential component of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Understanding the underlying metabolic pathways can also contribute to improved production of biofuels. Using a metabolomics approach involving liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we investigated the metabolism of mixtures of the cellulosic hexose s...
متن کاملTemporal fluxomics reveals oscillations in TCA cycle flux throughout the mammalian cell cycle
Cellular metabolic demands change throughout the cell cycle. Nevertheless, a characterization of how metabolic fluxes adapt to the changing demands throughout the cell cycle is lacking. Here, we developed a temporal-fluxomics approach to derive a comprehensive and quantitative view of alterations in metabolic fluxes throughout the mammalian cell cycle. This is achieved by combining pulse-chase ...
