Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum strain:TG57 Genome sequencing and assembly. Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum strain:TG57

Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum TG57 grows in anaerobic medium containing microcrystalline cellulose as the sole carbon source. Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum TG57 is capable of directly utilizing microcrystalline cellulose to produce butanol. Moreover, Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum TG57 is capable of co-fermenting glucose and xylose efficiently to produce butanol without carbon catabolite repression.
