After many attempts to re-isolate Clostridium aceticum (Wieringa) had been unsuccessful, finally a new strain could be isolated that was morphologically and physiologically identical, as could be demonstrated by comparing this strain with the original one, retrieved recently from an old culture collection. Both strains showed the ability to produce cellular materials and acetate from a CO2-H2 gas mixture, as well as from fructose as the substrate. A detailed description of the enrichment and isolation procedures used, is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
