Six strains of Clostridium thermocellum isolated from various environments were characterized as to growth rate, production of reducing sugars, ethanol, and acetic acid from cellulose, base composition of DNA, and the abilities to adapt to ethanol and to grow at 45 degrees C. Five of the six new isolates produced 7 to 15% more ethanol and two produced about 45% more reducing sugars than a standard reference strain. One strain (MC-6) adapted more readily to growth in 2% ethanol than the others.
从不同环境中分离得到的 6 株嗜热梭菌(Clostridium thermocellum)的生长速度、从纤维素产生还原糖、乙醇和乙酸、DNA 的碱基组成以及适应乙醇和在 45°C 下生长的能力进行了表征。这 6 株新分离株中的 5 株比标准参考菌株产生 7%至 15%更多的乙醇,有 2 株产生约 45%更多的还原糖。一株(MC-6)比其他菌株更容易适应在 2%乙醇中生长。
