Production of butanol by fermentation in the presence of cocultures of clostridium [PDF]
Sugars are converted to a mixture of solvents including butanol by a fermentation process employing a coculture of microorganisms of the Clostridium genus, one of said microorganisms favoring the production of butyric acid and the other of which converts

Exploiting the Anaerobic Expression of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase for the Production of Biofuels
The Pyruvate dehydrogense complex (PDH) is a primarily aerobic enzyme which catalyses pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide. Its counterpart in anaerobic metabolism is pyruvate formate lyase (Pfl) which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and formate.

Anaerobic fermentation of glycerol: a platform for renewable fuels and chemicals [PDF]
To ensure the long-term viability of biorefineries, it is essential to go beyond the carbohydrate-based platform and develop complementing technologies capable of producing fuels and chemicals from a wide array of available materials. Glycerol, a readily

Butyrate kinase from Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Crude extracts of Clostridium acetobutylicum contain a butyrate kinase of high specific activity (5.2 mumol/min/mg of protein). The enzyme has been purified 77-fold in a six-step procedure to a specific activity of 402 mumol/min/mg of protein. The purified butyrate kinase showed a single band with a molecular weight of 85,000 on nondenaturing ...

Abstract Objective Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders, and treatment involves nonpharmacological and pharmacological therapies, even if there is no optimal therapy. This randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of calcium butyrate supplementation in ...

Widespread occurrence of non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase among gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
The non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDHN, NADP+-specific, EC 1.2.1.9) is present in green eukaryotes and some Streptococcus strains.

Mathematical modelling of clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation [PDF]
Clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation features a remarkable shift in the cellular metabolic activity from acid formation, acidogenesis, to the production of industrial-relevant solvents, solventogensis.

Biological Routes for Biohydrogen Production: A Clean and Carbon‐Free Fuel
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Biological routes for hydrogen (H2) production are mainly classified into four pathways: 1) direct bio‐photolysis, 2) indirect bio‐photolysis, 3) photo‐fermentation, and 4) dark fermentation. Of these pathways, dark fermentation produces the highest levels of H2 production.

Engineering alternative butanol production platforms in heterologous bacteria [PDF]
Alternative microbial hosts have been engineered as biocatalysts for butanol biosynthesis. The butanol synthetic pathway of Clostridium acetobutylicum was first re-constructed in Escherichia coli to establish a baseline for comparison to other hosts ...
