Analysis of the mechanism and regulation of lactose transport and metabolism in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. (2007)
Journal Article
Yu, Y., Tangney, M., Aass, H. C., & Mitchell, W. J. (2007). Analysis of the mechanism and regulation of lactose transport and metabolism in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 73, 1842-1850. doi:10.1128/AEM.02082-06

Although the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation of Clostridium acetobutylicum is currently uneconomic, the ability of the bacterium to metabolise a wide range of carbohydrates offers the potential for revival based on the use of cheap, low gr...

Characterisation of a glucose phosphotransferase system in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. (2007)
Journal Article
Tangney, M., & Mitchell, W. J. (2007). Characterisation of a glucose phosphotransferase system in Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 74, 398-405. doi:10.1007/s00253-006-0679-9

The transport of glucose by the solventogenic anaerobe Clostridium acetobutylicum was investigated. Glucose phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) activity was detected in extracts prepared from cultures grown on glucose...
