| Description | Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4(HMT) is a microorganism that thrives in a mesophilic environment, preferring temperatures between 25°C and 45°C, categorizing it as a mesophilic microbe. It is a chemoheterotroph, obtaining its energy by breaking down organic compounds in the absence of light, and its metabolism is based on the breakdown of organic molecules. C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4(HMT) is a Gram-positive bacterium, characterized by a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall. Its shape is rod-shaped, with cells typically measuring 0.5-1.0 μm in diameter and 2.0-5.0 μm in length. As a heterotrophic microbe, it can be found in a wide range of environments, including soil, aquatic ecosystems, and the human body, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system. This microbe is an obligate anaerobe, meaning it is unable to tolerate oxygen and requires an anaerobic environment to survive. It can, however, use nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor in the presence of low oxygen levels. C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4(HMT) has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to produce a range of metabolites, including solvents, alcohols, and fatty acids. Additionally, it has been found to be effective in bioremediation applications, such as the degradation of pollutants and contaminants in soil and water. |
