clostridia
PhysiologyThe Small RNA sr8384 Is a Crucial Regulator of Cell Growth in Solventogenic ClostridiaThe uses of sRNAs as new resources for functional studies and strain modifications are promising strategies in microorganisms. However, these crucial regulatory molecules have hardly been explored in industrially important solventogenic clostridia. Here, we identified sr8384 as a novel determinant sRNA controlling the cell growth of solventogenic Clostridium acetobutylicum...
Genetics and Molecular BiologyFerrous-Iron-Activated Transcriptional Factor AdhR Regulates Redox Homeostasis in Clostridium beijerinckiiSolventogenic clostridia are anaerobic bacteria that can produce butanol, ethanol, and acetone, which can be used as biofuels or building block chemicals. Here, we show that AdhR, a σ54-dependent transcriptional activator, senses the intracellular redox status and controls alcohol synthesis in Clostridium beijerinckii. AdhR provides a new example of a GAF...
