The aim of this study involved the characterisation of the cellulolytic properties of Clostridium acetobutylicum and the development of a genetic transfer system for this organism. The production of a carboxymethyl cellulose and a cellobiase by C acetobutylicum was demonstrated. In liquid medium the carboxymethyl cellulase was induced by molasses, and it was not repressed by glucose. Optimum carboxymethyl cellulase activity occurred at pH 4.6 and 37°C. Optimum conditions for autolysis and autoplast formation in C. acetobutylicum were defined. Autolysis-deficient mutants which produced less autolysin than the parent strain were isolated. Growth of the P262 strain and the lyt-1 mutant was inhibited by the same concentrations of wall-inhibiting antibiotics. 2014-12-13T06:22:41Z 2014-12-13T06:22:41Z 1982 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9977 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
