Homoacetogenic Fermentation of Cellulose by a Coculture of Clostridium thermocellum and Acetogenium kivui.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interrelationships between methanogens and fermentative or hydrolytic bacteria are well documented; however, such cocultures do not allow a complete fermentation shift to a peculiar metabolite. We describe here a new stable association between Clostridium thermocellum and Acetogenium kivui which converts 1 mol of cellulose (anhydroglucose equivalent) into 2.7 mol of acetate.

Differential effects of sodium on hydrogen- and glucose-dependent growth of the acetogenic bacterium Acetogenium kivui.
Acetogenium kivui could not be revived or maintained in a sodium-deficient medium (0.2 mM sodium) under H2-dependent conditions, and neither lithium nor potassium replaced the sodium requirement of H2-cultivated cells. Conversely, the revival and maintenance of glucose-cultivated cells did not display a dependency on supplemental sodium. In the absence of growth, formate became a major end prod...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Symbiotic Coculture of Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum YM3 and Clostridium thermocellum YM4.
Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum YM3 and C. thermocellum YM4 were isolated from a coculture which was obtained from an enrichment culture inoculated with volcanic soil in Izu Peninsula, Japan. Strain YM3 had advantages over reported C. thermohydrosulfuricum strains in that it fermented inulin and could accumulate ethanol up to 1.3% (wt/vol). The highest ethanol yield obtained was 1.96 mol/mol ...
متن کاملContinuous cellulosic bioethanol fermentation by cyclic fed-batch cocultivation.
Cocultivation of cellulolytic and saccharolytic microbial populations is a promising strategy to improve bioethanol production from the fermentation of recalcitrant cellulosic materials. Earlier studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cocultivation in enhancing ethanolic fermentation of cellulose in batch fermentation. To further enhance process efficiency, a semicontinuous cyclic fed-ba...
متن کاملButanol production from crystalline cellulose by cocultured Clostridium thermocellum and Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4.
We investigated butanol production from crystalline cellulose by cocultured cellulolytic Clostridium thermocellum and the butanol-producing strain, Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum (strain N1-4). Butanol was produced from Avicel cellulose after it was incubated with C. thermocellum for at least 24 h at 60°C before the addition of strain N1-4. Butanol produced by strain N1-4 on 4% Avicel c...
متن کاملPotential of thin stillage as a low-cost nutrient source for direct cellulose fermentation by Clostridium thermocellum
Utilization of thin stillage (TS), derived from grain-based ethanol production, was investigated as an alternative source for microbial growth nutrients during direct conversion of cellulose by Clostridium thermocellum DSM 1237. Fermentation end-products synthesized by C. thermocellum grown on media prepared with various concentrations (50–400 g/L) of TS were compared to those synthesized by C....
