Project description:Streptomyces albus ATCC 21838 was grown on ISP2 agar for 6 days and extracted with butanol and methanol. The datafile named Contol_ISP2agar corresponds to blank media
Project description:Streptomyces albus J1074 was grown on ISP2 agar for 6 days and extracted with butanol and methanol. The file named control_ISP2agar is the data for blank media
Project description:Comparative genomic hybridization microarrays featuring overlapping probes spanning the entire C. botulinum type A1 strain ATCC 3502 genome were used to identify regions whose presence are variable among a diverse panel of type A C. botulinum strains.
Project description:Clostridium acetobutylicum is a Gram positive, endospore forming firmicute that has been known as the model organims for ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) fermentation. With its ability to consume a wide variety of substrates, C. acetobutylicum carries out a biphasic ABE fermentation, which consists of the acidogenic growth phase with the formation of butyric acid and acetic acid, followed by the solventogenic stationary phase with the formation of acetone, butanol and ethanol, characterised by the reassimilation of acids. The production butanol is of renewed ineterest both as a potential biofuel and bulk chemical production. Both butanol and butyrate posses toxic characteristic and here, we focus on understanding and modeling the stress response of C. acetobutylicum to one of the two important toxic metabolites: butanol.
