A roadmap for gene system development in Clostridium (2016)
Journal Article
Minton, N. P., Ehsaan, M., Humphreys, C. M., Little, G. T., Baker, J., Henstra, A. M., …Zhang, Y. (2016). A roadmap for gene system development in Clostridium. Anaerobe, 41, 104-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anaerobe.2016.05.011

Clostridium species are both heroes and villains. Some cause serious human and animal diseases, those present in the microbiota contribute to health and wellbeing, while others represent useful industrial chassis for the production of chemicals and f...
