Metabolic engineering of Clostridium thermocellum for n-butanol production from cellulose

Metabolic engineering of Clostridium thermocellum for n-butanol production from cellulose

Abstract Background Biofuel production from plant cell walls offers the potential for sustainable and economically attractive alternatives to petroleum-based products. In particular, Clostridium thermocellum is a promising host for consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) because of its strong native abilit...
