Differential Induction of Genes Related to Solvent Formation During the Shift From Acidogenesis to Solventogenesis in Continuous Culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995
The expression of all sequenced acetone and butanol formation genes was followed using mRNA analysis during the shift from acidogenesis to solventogenesis in continuous culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Differential induction or derepression of the bdhA, bdhB, and adc genes as well as the sol operon was observed during the pH-induced shift.

The redox-sensing protein Rex, a transcriptional regulator of solventogenesis in Clostridium acetobutylicum

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Solventogenic clostridia are characterised by their biphasic fermentative metabolism, and the main final product n-butanol is of particular industrial interest because it can be used as a superior biofuel. During exponential growth, Clostridium acetobutylicum synthesises acetic and butyric acids which are accompanied by the formation of molecular ...

Cyclic Di-Adenosine Monophosphate as a Potential Regulator of Sporulation and Solventogenesis in Clostridium beijerinckii: A Hypothesis

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a versatile bacterial signaling molecule involved in the regulation of cell wall metabolism, response to osmotic stress, growth, maintenance of DNA integrity, potassium homeostasis, and sporulation. Recent studies have implicated c-di-AMP in the regulation of sporulation and solventogenesis in Clostridium

Conditions promoting stability of solventogenesis or culture degeneration in continuous fermentations of Clostridium acetobutylicum

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1988
The stability of solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum has been studied in continuous single-stage and two-stage fermentations. At low dilution rates, metabolic oscillations resulting from product inhibition have been observed especially in the case of fermentations controlled by product accumulation.

NADH levels and solventogenesis in Clostridium acetobutylicum: New insights through culture fluorescence

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1989
The metabolic relationship between the solventogenic state in Clostridium acetobutylicum and intracellular NADH levels was investigated using culture fluorescence as a technique for continuous monitoring of in vivo NADH levels. Continuous culture experiments showed that a transition from acidogenic to solventogenic state was accompanied by a decrease ...

Transcriptional regulation of solventogenesis in Clostridium acetobutylicum.

Journal of molecular microbiology and biotechnology, 2002
Solvent synthesis in Clostridium acetobutylicum is induced in concert with sporulation to counteract the dangerous effects of produced butyric and acetic acids and to provide the cell with sufficient time to complete endospore formation. Cardinal transcription units for butanol and acetone production are the sol and adc operons encoding butyraldehyde ...

Isolation of a New Butanol-Producing Clostridium Strain: High Level of Hemicellulosic Activity and Structure of Solventogenesis Genes of a New Clostridium saccharobutylicum Isolate

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2009
New isolates of solventogenic bacteria exhibited high hemicellulolytic activity. They produced butanol and acetone with high selectivity for butanol (about 80% of butanol from the total solvent yield). Their 16S rDNA sequence was 99% identical to that of Clostridium saccharobutylicum.

Controlling the oxidoreduction potential of the culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum leads to an earlier initiation of solventogenesis, thus increasing solvent productivity

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011
Fermentative production of solvents (acetone, butanol, and ethanol) by Clostridium acetobutylicum is generally a biphasic process consisting of acidogenesis and solventogenesis. We report that the biphasic metabolism of C. acetobutylicum could be changed by oxidoreduction potential (ORP) regulation. When using air to control the ORP of the fermentation

Characterization of recombinant strains of the Clostridium acetobutylicum butyrate kinase inactivation mutant: Need for new phenomenological models for solventogenesis and butanol inhibition?

Biotechnology & Bioengineering, 2000
Two metabolic engineering tools, namely gene inactivation and gene overexpression, were employed to examine the effects of two genetic modifications on the fermentation characteristics of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Inactivation of the butyrate kinase gene (buk) was examined using strain PJC4BK, while the combined effect of buk inactivation and ...

Expression of abrB310 and SinR, and effects of decreased abrB310 expression on the transition from acidogenesis to solventogenesis, in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824.

Applied and environmental microbiology, 2005
The transcription factors sinR and abrB are involved in the control of sporulation initiation in Bacillus subtilis. We identified a single homologue to sinR and three highly similar homologues to abrB, designated abrB310, abrB1941, and abrB3647, in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Using reporter vectors, we showed that the promoters of abrB1941 and
