Recently, lignocellulosic biomass as the most abundant renewable resource has been
widely considered for bioalcohols production. However, the complex structure of …

The sustainable production of solvents from above ground carbon is highly desired. Several
clostridia naturally produce solvents and use a variety of renewable and waste-derived …

The gut microbiota synthesize hundreds of molecules, many of which influence host
physiology. Among the most abundant metabolites are the secondary bile acids deoxycholic …

The global energy crisis and limited supply of petroleum fuels have rekindled the interest in
utilizing a sustainable biomass to produce biofuel. Butanol, an advanced biofuel, is a …

Production of cellulosic biofuels has drawn increasing attention. However, currently no
microorganism can produce biofuels, particularly butanol, directly from cellulosic biomass …

In the last decades, fermentative production of n‐butanol has regained substantial interest
mainly owing to its use as drop‐in‐fuel. The use of lignocellulose as an alternative to …

Clostridium cellulovorans DSM 743B offers potential as a chassis strain for biomass refining
by consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). However, its n-butanol production from lignocellulosic …

The complex structure of lignocellulose requires the involvement of a suite of
lignocellulolytic enzymes for bringing about an effective de-polymerization. Cellulases and …

Clostridium species are both heroes and villains. Some cause serious human and animal
diseases, those present in the gut microbiota generally contribute to health and wellbeing …

A number of Gram-positive bacteria are important players in industry as producers of a
diverse array of economically interesting metabolites and proteins. As discussed in this …
