A complete genome sequence of Cupriavidus necator H16 (DSM 428) (2019)
Journal Article

The hydrogen-utilizing strain Cupriavidus necator H16 (DSM 428) was sequenced using a combination of PacBio and Illumina sequencing. Annotation of this strain reveals 6,543 protein-coding genes, 263 pseudogenes, 64 tRNA genes, and 15 rRNA genes.

The carbonic anhydrase of Clostridium autoethanogenum represents a new subclass of β-carbonic anhydrases (2019)
Journal Article

Carbonic anhydrase catalyses the interconversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons. It was unknown if the industrial relevant acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum possesses these enzymes. We identified two putative carbonic anhyd...

A novel conjugal donor strain for improved DNA transfer into Clostridium spp. (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors Importance: The ability to transfer genetic material into a target organism is crucial for the development of a wide range of targeted genetic manipulation techniques. Overcoming the organisms’ native restriction systems which targ... Read More about A novel conjugal donor strain for improved DNA transfer into Clostridium spp..

The genetic basis of 3-hydroxypropanoate metabolism in Cupriavidus necator H16 (2019)
Journal Article

Background 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a promising platform chemical with various industrial applications. Several metabolic routes to produce 3-HP from organic substrates such as sugars or glycerol have been implemented in yeast, enterobacter...

Genome-scale model of C. autoethanogenum reveals optimal bioprocess conditions for high-value chemical production from carbon monoxide (2019)
Journal Article

Clostridium autoethanogenum is an industrial microbe used for the commercial-scale production of ethanol from carbon monoxide. While significant progress has been made in the attempted diversification of this bioprocess, further improvements are desi...

Engineering of vitamin prototrophy in Clostridium ljungdahlii and Clostridium autoethanogenum (2019)
Journal Article

Clostridium autoethanogenum and Clostridium ljungdahlii are physiologically and genetically very similar strict anaerobic acetogens capable of growth on carbon monoxide as sole carbon source. While exact nutritional requirements have not been reporte... Read More about Engineering of vitamin prototrophy in Clostridium ljungdahlii and Clostridium autoethanogenum.

Gsmodutils: a python based framework for test-driven genome scale metabolic model development (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Author(s) 2019. Published by Oxford University Press. Motivation: Genome scale metabolic models (GSMMs) are increasingly important for systems biology and metabolic engineering research as they are capable of simulating complex steady-stat...
