Vegetative cellsofClostridiumacetobutylicumare straight rods of 0.5–0.9 × 1.5–6μm and are motile by peritrichous flagella (Fig. 1). They stain Gram-positive in growing cultures but Gram-negative in older cultures. Duringsporulation, cells swell markedly and form granulose, apolysaccharidereserve...

acetobutylicum or C. beijerinckii growing on starch or molasses dominates the history of clostridial fermentations. For most clostridial species, growth occurs most rapidly between pH 6.5 and 7.0 and at a temperature of 30–37 °C, although some species, such as C. perfringens have very rapid ...
(usually electroporation) or conjugation has been developed forC. perfringens,Clostridium acetobutylicum,Clostridium difficile, andC. botulinum, and genetic manipulation to understand virulence and to improve industrial processes is becoming increasingly available. The achievement of the complete genome sequence...
Clostridium cellulovorans, also a mesophile, has been engineered to produce n-butanol via a combination of heterologous expression of genes from Clostridium acetobutylicum and ALE [47–50]. It is instructive to consider microorganisms to which metabolic engineering, ALE, and genomics-enabled ...
C. acetobutylicum. Moreover, experimental advances have now demonstrated that clostridia have a significant role in the treatment of cancer, by capitalising on the unique ability of spores to selectively germinate in tumours (e.g.,C. sporogenesandC. novyi). However, despite the beneficial ...
