Transcriptomic characterization of recombinant Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 expressing methylglyoxal synthase and glyoxal reductase from Clostridium pasteurianum ATCC 6013
Abstract Bioconversion of abundant lactose-replete whey permeate to value added chemicals holds promise for valorization of this increasing food processing waste. Efficient conversion of whey-permeate-borne lactose requires adroit microbial engineering to funnel carbon to the desired chemical. Having engineered a strain of Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 (C.
Unravelling the roadblocks to 1,2-propanediol biosynthesis in select solventogenic Clostridium species
Abstract Background The compound 1,2-propanediol is an important industrial bulk chemical that has proven particularly recalcitrant to bio-production. Solvent-producing Clostridium species represent promising candidates for engineering 1,2-propaediol production. Co-production of 1,2-popanediol and butanol has the potential to improve the economics of the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation.
Spurring staff and students in Nigeria to pursue microbiology-driven entrepreneurship
Several areas of microbiology are ripe for commercial exploitation in Nigeria - so what’s the next step for students and researchers interested in setting up science-driven business ventures? A recent workshop had the answers.
Time-resolved transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of Heyndrickxia coagulans during NaOH-buffered L-lactic acid production
1 Introduction Lactic acid (LA), also known as dihydroxypropionic acid with a molecular formula of C3H6O3, is one of the primary organic acids globally (Juturu and Wu, 2016; Huang et al., 2021; Rawoof et al., 2021). Its versatile applications encompass diverse industries, including food, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Going beyond Learning and Listening to Meaningful Pursuit of Equity for Black Microbiologists
Letter to the Editor Emmanuel C. Adukwu, Musau WaKabongo, Okechukwu Ekenna, Bwalya Lungu, Amarachukwu Anyogu, Victor Ujor DOI: 10.1128/mBio.02821-20 LETTER We read the editorial on “The ASM Journals Committee values the contributions of Black microbiologists” published on 31 July 2020 (1) with interest and welcome both the acknowledgment of the barriers faced by underrepresented groups (URGs) in scientific publishing and actionable commitments to overcome these barriers.
Inactivation of levansucrase gene in Paenibacillus polymyxa DSM 365 diminishes exopolysaccharide biosynthesis during 2,3-butanediol fermentation
Biotechnology Christopher Chukwudi Okonkwo, Victor Ujor, Katrina Cornish, Thaddeus Chukwuemeka Ezeji DOI: 10.1128/AEM.00196-20 ABSTRACT Formation of exopolysaccharides (EPS) during 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) fermentation by Paenibacillus polymyxa increases medium viscosity, which in turn, presents considerable technical and economic challenges to 2,3-BD downstream processing.
