Abstract

Clostridium carboxidivorans strain P7(T) is a strictly anaerobic acetogenic bacterium that produces acetate, ethanol, butanol, and butyrate. The C. carboxidivorans genome contains all the genes for the carbonyl branch of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for CO(2) fixation, and it encodes enzymes for conversion of acetyl coenzyme A into butanol and butyrate.
