Clostridium pasteurianum DSM 525 = ATCC 6013 Genome sequencing. Clostridium pasteurianum DSM 525 = ATCC 6013

Clostridium pasteurianum is a gram positive, endospore-forming, obligately anaerobic rod shaped bacterium that fixes atmospheric nitrogen. It can efficiently utilise glycerol as a feedstock to produce the fuels n-butanol and 1,3-propanediol. The species was discovered (1893-95) in soil by the Russian microbiologist Winogradsky. The strain described here was obtained from the DSMZ.

巴斯德梭菌（Clostridium pasteurianum）是一类革兰氏阳性、产芽孢的专性厌氧杆状细菌，可固定大气中的氮气。该菌能够以甘油为原料高效生产燃料正丁醇（n-butanol）与1,3-丙二醇（1,3-propanediol）。此菌种于1893至1895年间由俄国微生物学家维诺格拉斯基（Winogradsky）从土壤中发现。本文所描述的菌株取自德国微生物菌种保藏中心（DSMZ）。
