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...

Evidence for the presence of an alternative glucose transport system in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 and the solvent hyper-producing mutant BA101. (2005)
Journal Article
Lee, J., Mitchell, W. J., Tangney, M., & Blaschek, H. P. (2005). Evidence for the presence of an alternative glucose transport system in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 and the solvent hyper-producing mutant BA101. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 71, 3384-3387. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.71.6.3384-3387.2005

The effects of substrate analogs and energy inhibitors on glucose uptake and phosphorylation by Clostridium beijerinckii provide evidence for the operation of two uptake systems: a previously characterized phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransfe...

Analysis of the elements of catabolite repression in Clostridium acetobutylicum. (2003)
Journal Article
Tangney, M., Deutscher, J., Galinier, A., & Mitchell, W. J. (2003). Analysis of the elements of catabolite repression in Clostridium acetobutylicum. Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, 6, 6-11. https://doi.org/10.1159/000073403

The ptsH gene, encoding the phosphotransferase protein HPr, from Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was identified from the genome sequence, cloned and shown to complement a ptsH mutant of Escherichia coli. The deduced protein sequence shares signif... Read More about Analysis of the elements of catabolite repression in Clostridium acetobutylicum..
