Growth and Product Formation of Clostridium ljungdahlii in Presence of Cyanide [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Cyanide is a minor constituent of crude syngas whose content depends on the feedstock and gasification procedure. It is a known poison to metal catalysts and inhibits iron-containing enzymes like carbon monoxide dehydrogenase of acetogenic organisms ...

The Metabolism of Clostridium ljungdahlii in Phosphotransacetylase Negative Strains and Development of an Ethanologenic Strain [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 The sustainable production of chemicals from non-petrochemical sources is one of the greatest challenges of our time. CO2 release from industrial activity is not environmentally friendly yet provides an inexpensive feedstock for chemical production.

Cross-talk between engineered Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii in syntrophic cocultures enhances isopropanol and butanol production [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThere is a need for efficient and sustainable production of essential chemicals such as isopropanol and butanol from renewable sugar feedstocks. Microbial fermentations use glycolysis, and as result, a third of the sugar carbon is lost to CO2 through ...

Formic Acid Formation by Clostridium ljungdahlii at Elevated Pressures of Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018 Low productivities of bioprocesses using gaseous carbon and energy sources are usually caused by the low solubility of those gases (e.g., H2 and CO).

Ethanol Metabolism Dynamics in Clostridium ljungdahlii Grown on Carbon Monoxide [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Ethanol production from carbon monoxide (CO) as a carbon and energy source by Clostridium ljungdahlii and “ Clostridium autoethanogenum ” is currently being commercialized. During gas fermentation, ethanol synthesis is NADH-dependent.

Development of Strong Anaerobic Fluorescent Reporters for Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii Using HaloTag and SNAP-tag Proteins [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Up to this point, assays and methods involving fluorescent reporter proteins were unavailable or limited in Clostridium organisms and other strict anaerobes. Green fluorescent protein (GFP), mCherry, and flavin-binding proteins (and their derivatives) have been used only in a few clostridia with limited success and ...
