Clostridium difficile (recently renamed as Clostridioides difficile) is a Gram-positive anaerobic spore-forming bacterium and is currently the most common cause of antibiotic-associated nosocomial infection the US and UK [1,2].It is estimated that in 2015 the pathogen was responsible for 500,000 cases and 15,000 deaths in the US, according to the CDC []. acetobutylicum ATCC 10132 could be regenerated at frequencies of 7.0 and 8.6%, respectively. It is mesophilic with optimal temperatures of 10-65°C. Changes in colony morphology were associated with the degeneration of solvent-producing strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Many outgrowths of various morphologies developed from the perimeter of such colonies after several days of incubation. When C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was grown on medium containing low levels of 2-bromobutyrate, analtered colony morphologywasobserved. %PDF-1.4 %���� Genetic and biochemical analysis of solvent formation in Clostridium acetobutylicum. 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 Clostridium acetobutylicum mutant IFP 904 (ATCC 39058) is obtained by spreading a culture of a strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum at the surface of a solid culture medium containing n-butanol at a specified concentration, growing the strain in the presence of a mutagenic agent and recovering a strain of increased resistance to n-butanol. Small differences between the number of colonies on the three media appeared for C. butyricuim reference strains or isolates, and the C. beijerinckii and C. acetobutylicum recovery on BIMwas low compared with that obtained on VLmedium. Changes in colony morphology were associated with the degeneration of solvent-producing strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum.The most efficient solvent-producing strains gave rise exclusively to colonies with dense centers containing large numbers of spores.
