Engineering solventogenic clostridia
Solventogenic clostridia are strictly anaerobic, endospore forming bacteria that produce a large array of primary metabolites, like butanol, by anaerobically degrading simple and complex carbohydrates, including cellulose and hemicellulose.

The Sporobiota of the Human Gut
Gut Microbes, 2021 The human gut microbiome is a diverse and complex ecosystem that plays a critical role in health and disease. The composition of the gut microbiome has been well studied across all stages of life. In recent years, studies have investigated the production

Germinants and Their Receptors in Clostridia [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2016 ABSTRACTMany anaerobic spore-forming clostridial species are pathogenic, and some are industrially useful. Although many are strict anaerobes, the bacteria persist under aerobic and growth-limiting conditions as multilayered metabolically dormant spores.

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1990 Toxigenic clostridia belonging to 13 recognized species are discussed in this review. Each species or group of organisms is, in general, introduced by presenting the historical aspects of its discovery by early investigators of human and animal diseases. The diseases caused by each species or group are described and usually discussed in relation to the

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are the leading cause of world-wide nosocomial acquired diarrhea. The current main clinical challenge in CDI is the elevated rate of infection recurrence that may reach up to 30% of the patients, which has been ...

Occurrence and potential mechanism of holin-mediated non-lytic protein translocation in bacteria
Microbial Cell, 2022 Holins are generally believed to generate large membrane lesions that permit the passage of endolysins across the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes, ultimately resulting in cell wall degradation and cell lysis. However, there are more and more examples

Engineering Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius for direct utilisation of holocellulose from wheat straw
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background A consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), where lignocellulose is converted into the desired product(s) in a single fermentative step without the addition of expensive degradative enzymes, represents the ideal solution of renewable routes to ...
