Acetone, Isopropanol, and Butanol Production by Clostridium beijerinckii (syn. Clostridium butylicum ) and Clostridium aurantibutyricum
Open accessAbstract
Thirty-four strains representing 15 species of anaerobic bacteria were screened for acetone, isopropanol, and n -butanol (solvent) production. Under our culture conditions, several strains of Clostridium beijerinckii and C. aurantibutyricum produced at least 40 mM n -butanol ( C. acetobutylicum strains produced up to 41 mM n -butanol under similar conditions). Both solvent-producing and non-solvent-producing strains of C. beijerinckii have high DNA homology with a reference strain of C. beijerinckii. Strains labeled “ Clostridium butylicum ” are phenotypically similar to C. beijerinckii and showed at least 78% DNA homology to a reference strain of C. beijerinckii. Therefore, these “ C. butylicum ” strains are members of C. beijerinckii. An earlier DNA homology study has shown that C. beijerinckii, C. aurantibutyricum , and C. acetobutylicum are distinct species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
