Development of a core Clostridium thermocellum kinetic metabolic model consistent with multiple genetic perturbations

Abstract Background Clostridium thermocellum is a Gram-positive anaerobe with the ability to hydrolyze and metabolize cellulose into biofuels such as ethanol, making it an attractive candidate for consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). At present, metabolic engineering in C. thermocellum is hindered due...
