Ribozyme-Mediated Downregulation Uncovers DNA Integrity Scanning Protein A (DisA) as a Solventogenesis Determinant in Clostridium beijerinckii

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) limits microbial utilization of lignocellulose-derived pentoses. To relieve CCR in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052, we sought to downregulate catabolite control protein A (CcpA) using the M1GS ribozyme technology. A CcpA-specific ribozyme was constructed by tet...
