Species code:	CLOAB
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; Clostridiaceae; Clostridium (TaxID: 1488) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Gram-positive, rod-shaped anaerobe bacterium. Isolates of C.acetobutylicum were first identified between 1912 and 1914, and these were used to develop an industrial starch-based acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, to produce acetone for gunpowder production, by Chaim Weizmann during World War I. The type strain ATCC 824 was isolated in 1924 from garden soil in Connecticut and is one of the best-studied clostridia. The plasmid pSOL1 carries the genes involved in solvent formation.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of CLOAB entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3847 (554 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3293 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
