Accession numbers | NC_007644 |
Background | Moorella thermoacetica (originally isolated as Clostridium thermoaceticum) is a Gram-positive, thermophilic, acetogenic and rod-shaped bacterium. It uses carbon dioxide as a terminal electron acceptor and concomitantly synthesizes biomass and acetate via the acetyl-CoA or Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. This anaerobe can use a wide range of electron donors (sugars, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, alcohols, organic acids and aromatic compounds). Its spores are extremely resistant to high temperatures (55-60 degrees Celsius). (EBI Integr8) |
