Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence and Comparative Analysis of the Solvent-Producing Bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum
J Nölling,G Breton,M. V. Omelchenko,Kira S. Makarova,Kira S. Makarova,Qiandong Zeng,R Gibson,H M Lee,Jean-Yves F. Dubois,D Qiu,J Hitti,Yuri I. Wolf,Roman L. Tatusov,Fabrice Sabathé,Lynn Doucette-Stamm,Philippe Soucaille,Michael J. Daly,George N. Bennett,Eugene V. Koonin,Douglas Smith +19 more
TL;DR: Comparison of C. acetobutylicum to Bacillus subtilis reveals significant local conservation of gene order, which has not been seen in comparisons of other genomes with similar, or, in some cases closer, phylogenetic proximity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of acid resistance in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The results suggest that several acid resistance systems potentially contribute to the survival of pathogenic E. coli in the different acid stress environments of the stomach and the intestine and that once induced, these systems will remain active for prolonged periods of cold storage at 4 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel pathway engineering design of the anaerobic central metabolic pathway in Escherichia coli to increase succinate yield and productivity
TL;DR: Experimental results indicated that these combined pathways gave the most efficient conversion of glucose to succinate with the highest yield using only 1.25 moles of NADH per mole of succinate in contrast to the sole fermentative pathway, which uses 2 moles in comparison to the maximum theoretical succinate yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Engineering of Escherichia coli: Increase of NADH Availability by Overexpressing an NAD+-Dependent Formate Dehydrogenase
TL;DR: A genetic means of manipulating the availability of intracellular NADH in vivo by regenerating NADH through the heterologous expression of an NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering through cofactor manipulation and its effects on metabolic flux redistribution in Escherichia coli.
Ka-Yiu San,George N. Bennett,Susana J. Berrı́os-Rivera,Ravi V. Vadali,Yea-Tyng Yang,Emily Horton,Fred B. Rudolph,Berna Sariyar,Kimathi Blackwood +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that manipulation of cofactors can be achieved by external and genetic means and these manipulations have the potential to be used as an additional tool to achieve desired metabolic goals.
