Group II intron-anchored gene deletion in Clostridium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Clostridium plays an important role in commercial and medical use, for which targeted gene deletion is difficult. We proposed an intron-anchored gene deletion approach for Clostridium, which combines the advantage of the group II intron "ClosTron" system

Characterization of the thermophilic xylanase Fsa02490Xyn from the hyperthermophile Fervidibacter sacchari belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1629-1642, October 2025.
Fervidibacter sacchari is a member of the bacterial phylum Armatimonadota, only a few of which have been cultivated. It is a hyperthermophilic polysaccharide degradation specialist. We show that a secreted enzyme, Fsa02490Xyn, is an endoxylanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10.

Diversity and characterization of ramie-degumming strains

Scientia Agricola, 2012
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea and Boehmeria tenacissima) is a widely used fiber crop. Traditional water retting or chemical boiling method performed in order to extract ramie fiber seriously pollute the environment and severely damage the fiber, so biological ...

A single residue affects the dynamics and shape of a tetrameric GH43 β‐1,4‐d‐xylosidase from Levilactobacillus brevis DSM1269

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Lignocellulosic materials (e.g., straw and bran) are gaining interest as feedstocks for the manufacture of higher value products, recognizing xylooligosaccharides (XOS) as interesting prebiotic compounds, and putting enzymes converting xylooligosaccharides into focus.

Variability in DPA and calcium content in the spores of Clostridium species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Spores of a number of clostridial species, and their resistance to thermal treatment is a major concern for the food industry. Spore resistance to wet heat is related to the level of spore hydration, which is inversely correlated with the content of ...

Comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis revealed genetic characteristics related to solvent formation and xylose utilization in Clostridium acetobutylicum EA 2018

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Clostridium acetobutylicum, a gram-positive and spore-forming anaerobe, is a major strain for the fermentative production of acetone, butanol and ethanol. But a previously isolated hyper-butanol producing strain C.

Circular Bioeconomy of Fruits and Vegetable Waste Into Biosolvents and Bioresources: Advancement in Sustainable Bioremediation Technologies

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
Fruit and vegetable waste is valorized into eco‐friendly biosolvents and bioproducts through microbial fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and anaerobic digestion. This circular bioeconomy approach mitigates environmental pollution, reduces reliance on fossil‐based solvents, and supports sustainable industrial practices.

Photoreactivating capacity in Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium acetobutylicum

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1989
No difference in survival was observed when u.v.-irradiated clostridial cells were subsequently incubated in the dark or exposed to photoreactivating light. This suggests that photoreactivation does not occur in Clostridium butyricum and in Clostridium acetohutylicum.

Calcium butyrate efficacy in pediatric irritable bowel syndrome: Randomized placebo‐controlled multiomics‐based clinical trial

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 551-561, September 2025.
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 ...
