Target Introduction
Introduction
Clostridium is a genus of rod-shaped, usually Gram-positive bacteria, members of which are found in soil, water, and the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals. The majority of species are obligate anaerobes. As the predominant bacteria in gut, Clostridium species exert lots of benefits to body health via interacting with intestine directly or indirectly. Clostridium species are potent candidates to alleviate dysfunctions and disorders in intestine, they have been reported to attenuate inflammation and allergic diseases effectively owing to their distinctive biological activities. Their cellular components and metabolites, like butyrate, secondary bile acids and indolepropionic acid, play a probiotic role primarily through energizing intestinal epithelial cells, strengthening intestinal barrier and interacting with immune system. In view of their salutary performances, Clostridium species have a huge potential as probiotics.

FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products
How should Clostridium acetobutylicum be stored for long-term use?
For long-term preservation, Clostridium acetobutylicum should be stored at -80°C in a cryoprotectant medium containing glycerol. This ensures the viability of the bacterial cells during storage and subsequent revival.
How can Clostridium acetobutylicum be revived from frozen stocks?
Thaw frozen stocks quickly at 37°C and transfer them immediately to an anaerobic growth medium. Incubate under anaerobic conditions until visible growth is observed, then scale up the culture for experimental use.
How does Clostridium acetobutylicum interact with the intestinal tract?
As an obligate anaerobe, Clostridium acetobutylicum interacts with the intestinal tract by producing metabolites such as butyrate, which energize intestinal epithelial cells, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and interact with the immune system to promote gut health.
What genetic tools are available for modifying Clostridium acetobutylicum?
Various genetic tools, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and other metabolic engineering techniques, are available for modifying Clostridium acetobutylicum. These tools can enhance solvent production, improve stress tolerance, and manipulate metabolic pathways to achieve higher yields and more efficient fermentation processes.
