Transcriptomic characterization of recombinant Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 expressing methylglyoxal synthase and glyoxal reductase from Clostridium pasteurianum ATCC 6013

This study uses RNA sequencing to analyze the transcriptome of a genetically modified Clostridium beijerinckii strain, revealing gene expression changes associated with enhanced butanol production from lactose.

Unravelling the roadblocks to 1,2-propanediol biosynthesis in select solventogenic Clostridium species

This study investigates the challenges in producing 1,2-propanediol using solventogenic Clostridium species, finding that recombinant strains fail to convert intermediates efficiently and that regulatory mechanisms may limit methylglyoxal pathway activity.
