Specific detection of “Clostridium autoethanogenum”, Clostridium ljungdahlii and Clostridium carboxidivorans in complex bioreactor samples [PDF]
The high genetic similarity between some carboxydotrophic bacteria does not allow for the use of common sequencing techniques targeting the 16S rRNA gene for species identification. 16S rRNA sequencing fails to discriminate among Clostridium ljungdahlii and 'Clostridium autoethanogenum', despite this two species exhibit significant differences in CO2 ...

Occurrence of ferredoxin:NAD+ oxidoreductase activity and its ion specificity in several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
A ferredoxin:NAD+ oxidoreductase was recently discovered as a redox-driven ion pump in the anaerobic, acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii. The enzyme is assumed to be encoded by the rnf genes.

Biological conversion of carbon monoxide: rich syngas or waste gases to bioethanol [PDF]
Bioconversion of syngas/waste gas components to produce ethanol appears to be a promising alternative compared to the existing chemical techniques. Recently, several laboratory-scale studies have demonstrated the use of acetogens that have the ability to

Electron transport phosphorylation in rumen butyrivibrios: unprecedented ATP yield for glucose fermentation to butyrate. [PDF]
From a genomic analysis of rumen butyrivibrios (Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio sp.), we have re-evaluated the contribution of electron transport phosphorylation (ETP) to ATP formation in this group.
