Microbial solvent formation revisited by comparative genome analysis
BACKGROUND Microbial formation of acetone, isopropanol, and butanol is largely restricted to bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium. This ability has been industrially exploited over the last 100 years. The solvents are important feedstocks for the chemical and biofuel industry. However, biological synthesis suffers from high substrate costs and competition from chemical synthesis supporte...
متن کاملMBGD: microbial genome database for comparative analysis
MBGD is a workbench system for comparative analysis of completely sequenced microbial genomes. The central function of MBGD is to create an orthologous gene classification table using precomputed all-against-all similarity relationships among genes in multiple genomes. In MBGD, an automated classification algorithm has been implemented so that users can create their own classification table by ...
متن کاملCGAT: Comparative Genome Analysis Tool for Closely Related Microbial Genomes
Recently, complete sequences of two or more microbial genomes that are closely related to each other have been determined (e.g. two strains of Helicobacter pylori [1]), and detailed comparison of such genomes becomes a useful approach for elucidating evolutionary principles or mechanisms of genomes (e.g. [2]). For such an analysis, it is required not only to compare the sequences themselves but...
متن کاملGenome sequence and comparative analysis of the solvent-producing bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The genome sequence of the solvent-producing bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 has been determined by the shotgun approach. The genome consists of a 3.94-Mb chromosome and a 192-kb megaplasmid that contains the majority of genes responsible for solvent production. Comparison of C. acetobutylicum to Bacillus subtilis reveals significant local conservation of gene order, which has not...
متن کاملImaging hydrated microbial extracellular polymers: comparative analysis by electron microscopy.
Microbe-mineral and -metal interactions represent a major intersection between the biosphere and geosphere but require high-resolution imaging and analytical tools for investigation of microscale associations. Electron microscopy has been used extensively for geomicrobial investigations, and although used bona fide, the traditional methods of sample preparation do not preserve the native morpho...
