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 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 ...

studied interactions between Clostridium ljungdahlii and C. acetobutylicum. These species of bacteria work together in a syntrophic system, producing metabolites that are mutually beneficial to ...

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 ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a chemist discovered that Clostridium bacteria efficiently ferment ... Weizmann's process employs the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum to ferment sugars into acetone ...

N-butanol (normal butanol) is naturally made by various species of the bacteria Clostridium. Since the 1920s, researchers and industry have genetically tweaked these bacteria to boost their ...
