Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation of sugar using solventogenic strains of Clostridium is a well-known industrial process, and it was used during the early and middle 20th century for the ...

Clostridium species represent a group of anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria that have a profound impact on dairy products. Their metabolic activities, notably the fermentation of lactic acid into ...

The engine behind this fermentation method is Clostridium perfringens, a close relative of bacteria that cause botulism, tetanus, and food poisoning. It can eat flesh.

Integrated, systems metabolic picture of acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation byClostridium acetobutylicum. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015; 201423143 DOI: 10.1073/pnas ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a chemist discovered that Clostridium bacteria efficiently ferment sugar or starch into alcohols and acetone. Cheap fossil fuels made the process commercially unviable, but ...

But developing microorganisms for gas fermentation has been slow to take off, in part because the microbes are not nearly as well characterized as the workhorses of traditional fermentation, such ...
