Spontaneous Large-Scale Autolysis in Clostridium acetobutylicum Contributes to Generation of More Spores

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Autolysis is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria. In batch fermentation of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, there is a spontaneous large-scale autolysis phenomenon with significant decrease of cell density immediately after exponential phase.

Clostridium acetobutylicum atpG-Knockdown Mutants Increase Extracellular pH in Batch Cultures

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
ATPase, a key enzyme involved in energy metabolism, has not yet been well studied in Clostridium acetobutylicum. Here, we knocked down the atpG gene encoding the ATPase gamma subunit in C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 using a mobile group II intron system and
