By investigating wet and dry age-related ripening of beef, strains V3/3/4/13 and V3/K/3/5 were isolated. Strain V3/3/4/13 exhibited more than 99 % 16S rRNA gene-based similarity to and other members of this group, while isolate V3/K/3/5 was very close to and a number of relatives within the group. Additional comparisons of complete sequences and draft genomes allowed us to place isolate V3/3/4/13 close to DSM 26521.

Analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that ZW T2_19 represented a member of the genus but may represent a novel species of this genus.

Isolate V4/DAB/S4/2a with a unique BOX-rep-PCR fingerprint profile revealed more than 99 % nucleotide identities upon pairwise comparisons of 16S rDNA sequences from the type strains DSM 101070, DSM 108989, DSM 26521 and DSM 29166, placing it within the / branch of the genus . Additional based comparison revealed DSM 101070 as the nearest relative, with 98.

In 2018, the name of the strain DSM 22242 was changed to (Clavel 2013) Nouioui 2018 due to taxonomic investigations of the closely related genera and within the phylum . However, the first whole draft genome of strain DSM 22242 was published by our group in 2019.

The strains could be differentiated from their closest relatives by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterization and average nucleotide identity (ANIb) values calculated from draft genome assemblies. Strains MBT-1, MBT-8, MBT-9, MBT-10, MBT-11 and MBT-12 were related to the subgroup.

Phylogenetic analysis of the complete gene sequences of the isolate V5/DAB/2/5 indicated a separate branch with about 99.0 % nucleotide identities to the closest relatives DSM 107652, DSM 29167 and DSM 29164, while average nucleotide identities (ANIb) calculated from the draft genomes were 94.

To identify proteins showing an altered expression pattern in response to oxygen supply, R. eutropha cells grown aerobically and anaerobically were compared in a comprehensive proteome and transcriptome approach.

Therefore, the identification of the molecular factors related to n-butanol stress constitutes a major strategy for furthering the understanding of the biotechnological production of n-butanol, an important industrial biofuel. Previous reports concerning n-butanol stress in C.

No effect was observed on the fermentation pattern and expression of typical solvent genes (aad, ctfA/B, adc, bdhA/B, ptb, buk).

In this study, first insights on the molecular level were gained to explore the effect of methyl viologen addition to cultures of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Employing batch fermentation in mineral salts medium, the butanol:acetone ratio was successively increased from 2.

It ferments various hexoses and pentoses to solvents but prefers glucose presumably using a catabolite repression mechanism. Accordingly during growth on a mixture of D-glucose and D-xylose a typical diauxic growth pattern was observed.
