The bacterium " Clostridium acetobutylicum " can feed on cellulose to produce butanol on an industrial scale.
2.
He used the bacterium " Clostridium acetobutylicum " ( the so-called Weizmann organism ) to produce acetone.
3.
One of the crucial enzymes-a fatty acyl-CoA reductase-came from " Clostridium acetobutylicum ".
4.
Acetoacetate decarboxylase from " Clostridium acetobutylicum " catalyzes the decarboxylation of acetoacetate to yield acetone and carbon dioxide ( Figure 1 ).
5.
It is typically a product of the fermentation of biomass by the bacterium " Clostridium acetobutylicum " ( also known as the Weizmann organism ).
6.
In 2008, a strain of " Escherichia coli " was genetically engineered to synthesize butanol; the genes were derived from " Clostridium acetobutylicum ".
7.
Industrial exploitation of ABE fermentation started in 1916, during World War I, with Chaim Weizmann's isolation of Clostridium acetobutylicum, as described in U . S . patent 1315585.
8.
In 1916, biochemist and future first president of Israel Chaim Weizmann was the first to isolate " Clostridium acetobutylicum ", a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria in which acetoacetate decarboxylase is found.
9.
One example is the production of 1-butanol in " Synechococcus elongatus " using enzymes from " Clostridium acetobutylicum ", " Escherichia coli " and " Treponema denticola ".
10.
The conkers were used as a source of starch for fermentation using the " Clostridium acetobutylicum " method devised by Chaim Weizmann to produce acetone for use as a solvent for the production of cordite, which was then used in military armaments.
