Tóm tắt
Chủ đề

Clostridium thermocellum
ferments cellulose, is a promising candidate for ethanol production from cellulosic biomass, and has been the focus of studies aimed at improving ethanol yield. 
Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum
ferments hemicellulose, but not cellulose, and has been engineered to produce ethanol at high yield and titer. Recent research has led to the identification of four genes in 
T. saccharolyticum
involved in ethanol production: 
adhE
, 
nfnA
, 
nfnB
and 
adhA
. We introduced these genes into 
C. thermocellum
and observed significant improvements to ethanol yield, titer, and productivity. The four genes alone, however, were insufficient to achieve in 
C. thermocellum
the ethanol yields and titers observed in engineered 
T. saccharolyticum
strains, even when combined with gene deletions targeting hydrogen production. Here, this suggests that other parts of 
T. saccharolyticum
metabolism may also be necessary to reproduce the high ethanol yield and titer phenotype in 
C. thermocellum
.
