Microbial solvent formation revisited by comparative genome analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Poehlein, A., Solano, J. D. M., Flitsch, S. K., Krabben, P., Winzer, K., Reid, S. J., …Dürre, P. (2017). Microbial solvent formation revisited by comparative genome analysis. Biotechnology for Biofuels, 10, Article 58. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-017-0742-z

Background: Microbial formation of acetone, isopropanol, and butanol is largely restricted to bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium. This ability has been industrially exploited over the last 100 years. The solvents are important feedstocks for...

Mathematical modelling of clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation (2017)
Journal Article
Millat, T., & Winzer, K. (in press). Mathematical modelling of clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 101(6), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-017-8137-4

Clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation features a remarkable shift in the cellular metabolic activity from acid formation, acidogenesis, to the production of industrial-relevant solvents, solventogensis. In recent decades, mathematica... Read More about Mathematical modelling of clostridial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation.

Metabolic engineering of Clostridium autoethanogenum for selective alcohol production (2017)
Journal Article
Liew, F., Henstra, A. M., Kӧpke, M., Winzer, K., Simpson, S. D., & Minton, N. P. (2017). Metabolic engineering of Clostridium autoethanogenum for selective alcohol production. Metabolic Engineering, 40, 104-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymben.2017.01.007

Gas fermentation using acetogenic bacteria such as Clostridium autoethanogenum offers an attractive route for production of fuel ethanol from industrial waste gases. Acetate reduction to acetaldehyde and further to ethanol via an aldehyde: ferredoxin... Read More about Metabolic engineering of Clostridium autoethanogenum for selective alcohol production.

Development and implementation of rapid metabolic engineering tools for chemical and fuel production in Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius NCIMB 11955 (2017)
Journal Article
Sheng, L., Kovács, K., Winzer, K., Zhang, Y., & Minton, N. P. (2017). Development and implementation of rapid metabolic engineering tools for chemical and fuel production in Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius NCIMB 11955. Biotechnology for Biofuels, 10(1), Article 5. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-016-0692-x

Background The thermophile Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius has considerable attraction as a chassis for the production of chemicals and fuels. It utilises a wide range of sugars and oligosaccharides typical of those derived from lignocellulose and...
