Engineering Clostridium acetobutylicum with a histidine kinase knockout for enhanced n-butanol tolerance and production.

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium acetobutylicum JB200, a mutant strain of C. acetobutylicum ATCC 55025 obtained through strain evolution in a fibrous bed bioreactor, had high butanol tolerance and produced up to ~21 g/L butanol from glucose in batch fermentation, an improvement of ~67 % over the parental strain (~12.6 g/L). Comparative genomic analysis revealed a single-base deletion in the cac3319 gene leading to C-terminal...
