Revisiting carbon monoxide metabolism in the Moorella genus and isolation of a novel Moorella species
Thermophilic acetogens hold great potential for syngas fermentation, as they efficiently convert CO and H2/CO2 into added-value chemical building bloc…

We evolved T. kivui to grow fast on CO (doubling time ~2.8 h). The trick? A megatransposon rewired its redox and metabolic circuits.

A megatransposon drives the adaptation of Thermoanaerobacter kivui to carbon monoxide - Nature Communications
Carbon monoxide (CO) present in syngas severely inhibits growth of many acetogens. Here, the authors adapt, characterize, and engineer utilization of CO as sole carbon and energy source by the thermop...

✨ New publication! ✨

We made genome editing in Thermoanaerobacter kivui fast, reliable—and even cloning-free—by harnessing its own CRISPR system.

A clean edited strain can now be obtained in just 12 days!
