โฆ Synopsis
Single and multiple Clostridi~ acetobutylicum P262 sporulation, clostridial stage, granulose, capsule and solvent producing mutants were isolated. Although common regulatory components were involved in the regulation of these events, each individual pathway was able to function independently of each other. Inhibitors of DNA replication inhibited spore formation but did not affect solvent, clostridial stage, granulose and capsule production.

The concurrent production of acids and solvents and the production of acetone during continuous culture in a product-limited chemostat indicated that the culture contained a mixture of acid-and solvent-producing cells.

Two simultaneous fermentations were performed at 26ยฐC with simultaneous inocula using Clostridium saccharoperbotylacetonicurn. Fermentation 1 prevented the gas formed by the biomass from escaping the fermentor while 2 allowed the gas formed to escape. Fermentor 1 provided for the production of butan
Metabolic flux analysis was used to investigate the roles of the acid formation pathways in Clostridium acetobutylicum. The acid formation pathways were revealed to serve different roles in wildtype fermentations than previously expected. Specifically, enzymes known to catalyze butyrate formation we
