CcpA, a Pleiotropic Key Regulator in Butanol-producing Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Clostridium acetobutylicum is a typical bacterium of major importance to industrial butanol production. In order to dissect the regulatory network pertaining to the industrial application of this bacterium, catabolite control protein A (CcpA) was investigated for its global function by DNA microarray.It showed that CcpA of C. acetobutylicum controls hundreds of genes, not only carbon metabolism, but also solvent production and sporulation in the life cycle.The results here demonstrated that CcpA is an important pleiotropic regulator related to some specific physiological and biochemical process in butanol-producing C. acetobutylicum.
