One canonical example is the ABE fermentation by Clostridium acetobutylicum, during which cells convert carbon sources to organic acids that are later re-assimilated to produce solvents as a ...

The study was published in mBio. The research for the group’s latest paper began after Charubin observed that two species of bacteria (Clostridium acetobutylicum and C. ljungdahlii) were exchanging ...

The late Weizmann's process employs the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum to ferment sugars into acetone, butanol and ethanol. Blanch and Clark developed a way of extracting the acetone and ...

The process relies on a specific species of bacteria, Clostridium acetobutylicum. Given a source of sugar (which can be obtained by digesting cellulose in plants), these bacteria will produce a ...

The process, called ABE (for acetone-butanol-ethanol), uses the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum. The first person to isolate and put to use a strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum was Chaim ...

The research team, led by Eleftherios (Terry) Papoutsakis, Unidel Eugene Du Pont Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, studied interactions between Clostridium ljungdahlii and C.

The process is known as ABE (Acetone Butanol Ethanol) and has used unsophisticated (and not particularly hearty) microbes such as Clostridium acetobutylicum. The problem with this type of microbe ...
