“…Dehydratation of 1,Zdiols is carried out by fermentative bacteria such as Clostridium glyce licum [24], Pelobacter venetianus [25], Pelobacter carbinolicus [ 12,261, some species of Lactobacillus [ 111,Klebsiella (271,Acetobacter [28], Propion jbacterium [29], and Acetobacterium [30]. Some of them possess a diol dehydratase which is involved in the metabolism of ethyleneglycol and 1,2-propanediol; it is probable that D. alcoholovorans also possess this enzyme.…”

SUMMARYIn a mineral medium containing sulfate as terminal electron acceptor, the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfooibrio alcoholouorans oxidized stoichiomet+ally 1 mol glycerol to 1 mol acetate and 1 mol 1,3-propanediol to 1 mol acetate with the concomitant reduction of 0.75 and 1 mol sulfate, respectively; 1 mol 1,2-propanediol was degraded to 0.8 mol acetate and 0.1 mol propionate, with the reduction of approximately 1 mol sulfate. The maximum specific growth rates (pmaX in h-') were 0.22, 0.086 and 0.09 with glycerol, 1,3-propanediol and 1,2-propanediol, respectively. The growth yields were 12.7 g, 11.1 g and 7.2 g dry weight/mol1,3-propanediol, glycerol ~ Correspondence lo: A.I. Qatibi. Present address: Department of Microbiology, University of Groningen. NL-9751 NN Haren, The Netherlands. 233and 1,2-propanediol degraded, respectively. The growth yields and maximum specific growth rates of the H,-transferring associations were also calculated. In the absence of sulfate, all these reduced substrates were degraded to acids and methane when D. alcoholooorans was cocultured with Methanospirillum hungatei. Changes in the metabolic pathway were observed in the degradation of 1,2-and 1,3-propanediol. The metabolic efficiency of D. alcoholouorans to degrade glycerol, 1.2-and 1,3-propanediol is discussed.

“…The production of p-cresol from p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid was also determined using the method of Phillips & Rogers (1981). The unknown strains were examined using the API system ATB 32A (API-Bio Merieux Ltd, Basingstoke) and tested for conversion of propylene glycol to propionic acid (Gaston & Stadtman 1963). Propylene glycol fermentation was determined from an agar plate culture of blood agar impregnated with 1 ml of a sterile 20% aqueous solution of propylene glycol.…”

Three strains of unidentified clostridia and 15 known strains of Clostridium glycolicum were examined to investigate cross reactions with the latex particle agglutination reagent used to identify Clostridium difficile. The unknown strains were identified as Cl. glycolicum and cross reacting agglutination occurred in 15/15 (100%) stock Cl. glycolicum strains. Characteristics such as volatile fatty acid profile, propylene glycol fermentation, u.v. fluorescence and the production of p‐cresol are required to distinguish between the two species.

Five strains of uracil‐degrading clostridia were isolated from soil using an enrichment medium containing uracil as the principal energy source. All the isolates resembled Clostridium glycolicum, although they lacked the characteristic ability to ferment ethylene glycol. Both representative isolates and a reference strain of Cl. glycolicum degraded uracil and produced β‐alanine when grown in a semi‐defined medium. Thus, the uracil‐degrading activity was similar to that described previously for Cl. uracilicum.
