The 6-Phosphofructokinase Reaction in Acetivibrio Thermocellus Is Both ATP- and Pyrophosphate-Dependent

Metabolic Engineering
Acetivibrio thermocellus (formerly Clostridium thermocellum) is a potential platform for lignocellulosic ethanol production. Its industrial application is hampered by low product titres, resulting from a low thermodynamic driving force of its central metabolism.

Genetic and metabolic drivers of membrane remodeling in Clostridium thermocellum under alcohol stress [PDF]

mSystems
Clostridium thermocellum is a leading candidate for consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels due to its native cellulolytic capabilities. Beyond ethanol, C.

Ethanol tolerance of Clostridium thermocellum: the role of chaotropicity, temperature and pathway thermodynamics on growth and fermentative capacity

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background Clostridium thermocellum is a promising candidate for consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. The low ethanol tolerance of this microorganism is one of the remaining obstacles to industrial implementation.

A unique AA5 alcohol oxidase fused with a catalytically inactive CE3 domain from the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei

FEBS Letters, Volume 597, Issue 13, Page 1779-1791, July 2023., 2023
Copper radical oxidases (CROs) from Auxiliary Activities family 5 can oxidize various alcohol substrates. Bacterial CROs are less studied than eukaryotic enzymes. Here we have characterized an unusual bacterial CRO that acts only on primary alcohols and is fused to a carbohydrate esterase domain, which was completely inactive due to substitutions of ...

PLANT CELL WALL COMPOSITION AND \u3ci\u3eIN VITRO\u3c/i\u3e FERMENTATION CHARACTERISTICS OF COOL-SEASON FORAGE GRASSES FROM TWO GROWING SEASONS IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY [PDF]

, 2023
Grass cell walls are rich in cellulose, hemicellulosic arabinoxylan (AX) polysaccharides, and lignin. AX structural differences such as degree and pattern of branching and the ester-linked phenolic acid content could affect plants’ digestibility when ...

Fermented sorghum improves type 2 diabetes remission by modulating gut microbiota and their related metabolites in high fat diet-streptozotocin induced diabetic mice [PDF]

, 2023
Microbial metabolites play key roles in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). A preliminary study on the impact of fermented sorghum (FS) on T2D and its modulation of gut microbiota and their metabolites was assessed using 16S

Butyribacter intestini gen. nov., sp. nov., a butyric acid-producing bacterium of the family Lachnospiraceae isolated from human faeces, and reclassification of Acetivibrio ethanolgignens as Acetanaerobacter ethanolgignens gen. nov., comb. nov

, 2021
A novel, non-motile, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, obligate anaerobic bacterium, designated strain TF01-11T, was isolated from human faeces. The isolate was characterized by phylogenetic and phenotypic properties, as well as by determination of
