Article Synopsis
- Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum strain N1-4 is effective for butanol production from cellulosic materials when grown alongside cellulolytic species like Hungateiclostridium thermocellum.
- The ideal temperature for butanol production by strain N1-4 is 30 °C, but it struggles at higher temperatures (37 °C) due to sporulation, which reduces butanol output.
- Gene knockouts for sporulation showed that disrupted spo0A led to loss of butanol production at 30 °C, while the sigE disruptant maintained butanol production even at 37 °C, demonstrating potential for higher temperature fermentation.
