Clostridium acetobutylicum strain:GXAS18-1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Clostridium acetobutylicum strain:GXAS18-1

Clostridium acetobutylicum is an organism that is commonly used to produce acetone and butanol by traditional acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation (ABE) . It can convert various biomasses into acetone, butanol and ethanol. Butanol is an especially ideal future second-generation renewable biofuel because of its higher energy density and lower volatility. High titer and high yield biobutanol production Clostridium strain has again recently become the focus of biofuels in studies. Thus, genome map of such strains will provide insights into the genetic basis of high productivity.
