Combined inactivation of the <it>Clostridium cellulolyticum </it>lactate and malate dehydrogenase genes substantially increases ethanol yield from cellulose and switchgrass fermentations
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The model bacterium <it>Clostridium cellulolyticum </it>efficiently degrades crystalline cellulose and hemicellulose, using cellulosomes to degrade lignocellulosic biomass. Although it imports and ferments both pentose an...
