Abstract excerpt
Clostridium acetobutylicum is a strict anaerobic organism that is used for biotechnological butanol fermentation. It ferments various hexoses and pentoses to solvents but prefers glucose presumably using a catabolite repression mechanism. Accordingly during growth on a mixture of D-glucose and D-xylose a typical diauxic growth pattern was observed. We used DNA microarrays and real-time RT-PCR to study gene...
