Genomic comparison of Clostridium species with the potential of utilizing red algal biomass for biobutanol production

Abstract

The determination of the production of various biofuels by both strains WA and WB and their genomic comparisons with other typical <i>Clostridium</i> species on the analysis of various metabolic pathways was presented. Through the identification of their metabolic pathways, which are involved in the conversion of galactose into various potential products, such as biobutanol, the obtained results extend the current insight into the potential capability of utilizing marine red algal biomass and provide a systematic investigation into the relationship between this genus and the generation of sustainable bioenergy.
