Effects of butanol on Clostridium acetobutylicum [PDF]
The internal pH of Clostridium acetobutylicum was determined at various stages during the growth of the organism. Even in the presence of significant quantities of acetic, butyric, and lactic acids, an internal pH of 6.2 was maintained. Experiments using N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide indicated that a functioning H+-ATPase is necessary for internal pH ...

Autolysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 [PDF]
The optimum conditions for autolysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 were determined. Autolysis was optimal at pH 6.3 and 55 degrees C in 0.1 M-sodium acetate/phosphate buffer. The ability of cells to autolyse decreased sharply at the end of the exponential phase of growth.

Oxygen and the Growth and Metabolism of Clostridium acetobutylicum [PDF]
Summary: Clostridium acetobutylicum has been studied during batch cultivation at pH 7 and 35° in a glucose + casein hydrolysate + vitamins and salts medium kept (i) anaerobic (E h, – 400 to – 370 mV), (ii) aerated (E h, – 50 to 0 mV; dissolved O2, < 1 μM), and (iii) aerobic (E h, + 100 mV; dissolved O2, 40 to 50 μM).
