Genome Sequence of Clostridium acetobutylicum GXAS18-1, a Novel Biobutanol Production Strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clostridium acetobutylicum is an organism involved in the production of acetone and butanol by traditional acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation (ABE). We report the draft genome sequence of C. acetobutylicum strain GXAS18-1, which can produce ABE directly from cassava flour.

Mutant generation by allelic exchange and genome resequencing of the biobutanol organism Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824
BACKGROUND Clostridium acetobutylicum represents a paradigm chassis for the industrial production of the biofuel biobutanol and a focus for metabolic engineering. We have previously developed procedures for the creation of in-frame, marker-less deletion mutants in the pathogen Clostridium difficile based on the use of pyrE and codA genes as counter selection markers. In the current study we sou...
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...
متن کاملEnhanced Butanol Production by Clostridium acetobutylicum NCIMB 13357 Grown on Date Fruit as Carbon Source in P2 Medium
The production of biobutanol was studied by the cultivation of Clostridium acetobutylicum NCIMB 13557 in P2 medium including date fruit as the sole substrate. The effect of P2 medium and the effect of different concentrations of date fruit ranging from 10 to 100 g/L on biobutanol production were investigated. Anaerobic batch culture was carried out at 35 °C incubation temperature and pH 7.0 ± 0...
متن کاملBiobutanol production in a Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm reactor integrated with simultaneous product recovery by adsorption
BACKGROUND Clostridium acetobutylicum can propagate on fibrous matrices and form biofilms that have improved butanol tolerance and a high fermentation rate and can be repeatedly used. Previously, a novel macroporous resin, KA-I, was synthesized in our laboratory and was demonstrated to be a good adsorbent with high selectivity and capacity for butanol recovery from a model solution. Based on th...
متن کاملGenomic comparison of Clostridium species with the potential of utilizing red algal biomass for biobutanol production
Background Sustainable biofuels, which are widely considered as an attractive alternative to fossil fuels, can be generated by utilizing various biomass from the environment. Marine biomass, such as red algal biomass, is regarded as one potential renewable substrate source for biofuels conversion due to its abundance of fermentable sugars (e.g., galactose). Previous studies focused on the enhan...
