Clostridium acetobutylicum is a promising biocatalyst for the renewable production of n-
butanol. Several metabolic strategies have already been developed to increase butanol …

Conventional acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation is severely limited by low
solvent titer and productivities. Thus, this study aims at developing an improved Clostridium …

Background Clostridium acetobutylicum can propagate on fibrous matrices and form biofilms
that have improved butanol tolerance and a high fermentation rate and can be repeatedly …

This study elucidated the importance of two critical enzymes in the regulation of butanol
production in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Overexpression of both the 6 …

Due to the increasing concerns about limited fossil resources and environmental problems,
there has been much interest in developing biofuels from renewable biomass. Ethanol is …

Clostridium cellulovorans DSM 743B can produce butyrate when grown on lignocellulose,
but it can hardly synthesize butanol. In a previous study, C. cellulovorans was successfully …

Biotechnological production of butanol in heterologous hosts has recently attracted many
interests. Of the heterologous hosts investigated to date, engineered Escherichia coli has …

A system for co-cultivation of anaerobic fungi with anaerobic bacteria was established based
on lactate cross-feeding to produce butyrate and butanol from plant biomass. Several co …

The major drawback of chemical transformations for the production of 2, 5-furan dicarboxylic
acid (FDCA) implies the usage of hazardous chemicals, high temperature and high pressure …

Background Targetrons are gene targeting vectors derived from mobile group II introns.
They consist of an autocatalytic intron RNA (a “ribozyme”) and an intron-encoded reverse …
