Journal ArticleDOI
Actinobacillus succinogenes sp. nov., a novel succinic-acid-producing strain from the bovine rumen.
TL;DR: Strain 130ZT is a capnophilic, osmotolerant succinogen that utilizes a broad range of sugars and accumulates high concentrations of succinic acid, and is proposed that it be classified as a new species, Actinobacillus succ inogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental and physiological factors affecting the succinate product ratio during carbohydrate fermentation by Actinobacillus sp. 130Z
TL;DR: Key enzymes in end product formation in Actinobacillus sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Utilization of Electrically Reduced Neutral Red as the Sole Electron Donor for Growth and Metabolite Production
TL;DR: Results show that both pure and mixed cultures can function as electrochemical devices when electrically generated reducing power can be used to drive metabolism, and the potential utility of utilizing electrical reducing power in enhancing industrial fermentations or biotransformation processes is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomic Distinction of Saccharolytic Thermophilic Anaerobes: Description of Thermoanaerobacterium xylanolyticum gen. nov., sp. nov., and Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum gen. nov., sp. nov.; Reclassification of Thermoanaerobium brockii, Clostridium thermosulfurogenes, and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum E100-69 as Thermoanaerobacter brockii comb. nov., Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes comb. nov., and Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus comb. nov., Respectively; and Transfer of Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum 39E to Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus
TL;DR: Two thermophilic, anaerobic, xylan-degrading bacteria, strains B6A-RIT (T = type strain) and LX-11T, were isolated from Frying Pan Springs in Yellowstone National Park as discussed by the authors.

Method for making succinic acid, bacterial variants for use in the process, and methods for obtaining variants
TL;DR: In this article, a method for producing succinic acid in high concentration by fermentation employs a variant of strain 130Z which is resistant to concentrations of about 1 g/l to about 8 g /l of sodium monofluoroacetate.
