Abstract

A sensitive gene expression reporter system was developed for Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 by using a customized gusA expression cassette. In discontinuous cultures, time course profiles of beta-glucuronidase specific activity reflected adequately in vivo dynamic up- and down-regulation of acidogenesis- and/or solventogenesis-associated promoter expression in C. acetobutylicum. Furthermore, a new inducible gene expression system was developed in C. acetobutylicum, based on the Staphylococcus xylosus xylose operon promoter-repressor regulatory system.

  • Gene expression reporter systems that function under anaerobic conditions have emerged, including the β-glucuronidase gene, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene, flavin-based fluorescent proteins, luxA-luxB reporter system, and lacZ gene from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurogenes EM1.

    “Gene expression reporter systems that function under anaerobic conditions have emerged, including the β-glucuronidase gene (gusA) (Girbal et al., 2003; Dong et al., 2012; Banerjee et al., 2014), chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene (catP) (Heap et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2015b), flavin-based fluorescent proteins (Drepper et al., 2007, 2010; Mukherjee and Schroeder, 2015), luxA-luxB reporter”

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.
