“…This designation has also been used by Van der Lek (1930) who reinvestigated Beijerinck's original strain and described zoogleaand isopropyl alcohol formation. Langlykke, Peterson, and McCoy (1935) applied the name Clostridium butylicum to strains which produce small amounts of acetone and large amounts of isopropyl alcohol in addition to butanol; but neither in this publication nor in another dealing with the same organism (Langlykke, Peterson, and Fred, 1937) is polysaccharide formation described. Koepsel and Johnson (1942), however, working with a strain of C. butylicum, again described polysaccharide formation.…”

“…The carbon dioxide and hydrogen were swept out continuously by a stream of purified nitrogen and measured gravimetrically (Neish, 1952). The fermentation solution was clarified with zinc hydroxide (Somogyi, 1930) and a portion distilled as described by Langlykke and Peterson (1937). The distillate was analyzed for acetoin by a quantitative adaptation of Voges-Proskauer reaction (Westerfeld, 1945) and for ethanol by dichromate oxidation.…”

published studies on chromogenic bacteria, related to Escherichia coli, which they renamed Escherichia auresceus (Parr) comb. nov. In listing reasons for suggesting this classification they referred to metabolic products of these cultures, as reported in a personal communication concerning a study carried out in this laboratory. The data to which they referred are given in this report on the effects of pH on the products of anaerobic metabolism of glucose by pigmented and nonpigmented strains of Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three cultures of Escherichia aurescenq labeled Ba, No.

“…In the natural environment, propanol derives from anaerobic microbial degradation processes. 2-propanol is known to be produced by some saccharolytic Clostridia by the reduction of acetone (Langlykke et al 1937 ; Kutzenok and Aschner 1952 ; George et al 1983 ).…”

Methanofollis propanolicus sp. nov., a novel archaeal isolate from a Costa Rican oil well that uses propanol for methane production

et al. 2022

A novel methanogenic strain, CaP3V-MF-L2AT, was isolated from an exploratory oil well from Cahuita National Park, Costa Rica. The cells were irregular cocci, 0.8–1.8 μm in diameter, stained Gram-negative and were motile. The strain utilized H2/CO2, formate and the primary and secondary alcohols 1-propanol and 2-propanol for methanogenesis, but not acetate, methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol or 2-butanol. Acetate was required as carbon source. The novel isolate grew at 25–40 °C, pH 6.0–7.5 and 0–2.5% (w/v) NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain is affiliated to the genus Methanofollis. It shows 98.8% sequence similarity to its closest relative Methanofollis ethanolicus. The G + C content is 60.1 mol%. Based on the data presented here type strain CaP3V-MF-L2AT (= DSM 113321T = JCM 39176T) represents a novel species, Methanofollis propanolicus sp. nov.
