Project name: Anaerotignum propionicum DSM 1682

Description: Clostridium propionicumwas isolated from black mud of the San Francisco Bay. The strictly anaerobic bacterium thrives on the fermentation of single amino acids:alpha- and beta-alanineas well as serinelead to ammonia, acetate, CO2 and propionate. With threonine propionate and butyrate are formed. The pathway of alanine reduction to propionate proceeds via acryloyl-CoA and not via succinate as in Propionibacterium species.

Data type: Genome sequencing

Sample scope: Monoisolate
