Formation of n-Butanol from d-Glucose by Strains of the "Clostridium tetanomorphum" Group.

Isolation of Clostridium Tetani from Soil.

Sanada, Ichiro (Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan), and Shoki Nishida. Isolation of Clostridium tetani from soil. J. Bacteriol. 89:626-629. 1965.-The higher the temperatures applied to soil specimens, the weaker the toxigenicity of Clostridium tetani strains isolated from them. The glucose- and maltose-fermenting ability of these isolates was inversely proportional to their toxigenicity. The...

Effective isopropanol–butanol (IB) fermentation with high butanol content using a newly isolated Clostridium sp. A1424

BACKGROUND Acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation has been studied for butanol production. Alternatively, to achieve acetone-free butanol production, use of clostridium strains producing butanol and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glycerol, natural and engineered isopropanol-butanol-ethanol (IBE) producers has been attempted; however, residual 1,3-PDO and acetone, low IBE production by natural IBE...

Deferred metabolism of glucose by Clostridium tetanomorphum.

Genomic diversity of Clostridium perfringens strains isolated from food and human sources

Clostridium perfringens is a serious pathogen which causes enteric diseases in domestic animals and food poisoning in humans. Spores can survive cooking processes and play an important role in the possible onset of disease. In this study, RAPD-PCR and REPPCR were used to examine the genetic diversity of 49 isolates of C. perfringens type A from three different sources. The results of RAPD-PCR r...

Prolonged conversion of n-butyrate to n-butanol with Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum in a two-stage continuous culture with in-situ product removal.

n-Butanol was produced continuously in a two-stage fermentor system with integrated product removal from a co-feed of n-butyric acid and glucose. Glucose was always required as a source of ATP and electrons for the conversion of n-butyrate to n-butanol and for biomass growth; for the latter it also served as a carbon source. The first stage generated metabolically active planktonic cells of Clo...
