Studies on Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 : sporulation induction and analysis of an oligosporogenous, solvent-deficient mutant

The ability of various fermentation products to induce sporulation was in order to design a sporulation induction medium for Clostridium acetobutylicum P262. Of acetic acid, butyric acetone and butanol, was found to be most effective at induction. Induction was more efficient at low pH values under...
