Developing a commercial process for the biological production of n-butanol is challenging
as it needs to combine high titer, yield, and productivities. Here we engineer Clostridium …

Under stress, Clostridium acetobutylicum sporulates and halts its metabolism, which limits its
use in industrial acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation. It is challenging to …

The gradual shift of transportation fuels from oil based fuels to alternative fuel resources and
worldwide demand for energy has been the impetus for research to produce alcohol biofuels …

Clostridia are Gram-positive, spore-forming, obligate anaerobic bacteria that can produce
solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and butanol, which can be used as biofuels or building …

In 2018, the EU's revised Renewable Energy Directive came into force, increasing
renewable energy targets for all energy sectors while limiting the use of first‐generation …

Abstract Adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) is consumed as a biological energy source by
many intracellular reactions. Thus, the intracellular ATP supply is required to maintain …
