Introduction

Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus B316T

Butyrivibrio proteoclasticus B316T (DSM 14932), formerly Clostridium proteoclasticum, is a Gram-positive, proteolytic, polysaccharide-degrading, butyrate-producing, anaerobic bacterium isolated from the bovine rumen [1, 2], and is the type strain of the species [3].

B316 has a large repertoire of carbohydrate active enzymes (116 glycosyl hydrolases, 116 glycosyl transferases, 6 polysaccharide lyases, 11 carbohydrate esterases) [4]. B316 has biohydrogenating ability [5] and can form stearic acid (18 : 0) from linoleic acid (cis-9,cis-12-18 : 2). The genes for this have not been characterised.

The B316 genome (4,404,886 bp) consists of a chromosome (3,554,804 bp) and three plasmids (361,399 bp, 302,358 bp and 186,325 bp) [6]. The 302 kb plasmid has two rRNA operons and appears functionally similar to the main chromosome.

B316 lacks an identifiable enolase (EC4.2.1.11), the enzyme that converts 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the penultimate step of the Embden- Meyerhof (EM) glycolytic pathway [6]. Several other Butyrivibrio cultures are also missing the enolase gene [7], but it has not been determined if alternative pathways are present.
