  • Title: Properties of Allyl Alcohol-Resistant Mutants of Clostridium butyricum Grown on Glycerol.
    Author: Abbad-Andaloussi S, Amine J, Gerard P, Petitdemange E, Petitdemange H.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1996 Sep; 62(9):3499-501. PubMed ID: 16535411.
    Abstract:
    Mutants of Clostridium butyricum E5 exhibiting resistance to allyl alcohol which produced the same quantities of 1,3-propanediol as the wild-type strain but more acetate than butyrate were isolated. The acetate-butyrate formation plays a major function in the regulation of the internal redox balance. Allyl alcohol resistance can be attributed not to the loss of 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase but to a shift in the reductive properties of the enzyme. The data support the view that cellular regulation is modified to avoid intracellular accumulation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde.
