Abstract:Metabolism of glucose and xylose and parameters of growth were investigated in strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens ATCC 19171 and CE 51. In the strain ATCC 19171, the composition of fermentation end-products was the same in cultures supplied with glucose and xylose. The strain CE 51 produced more volatile fatty acids and less lactate from xylose than from glucose. Cells of this strain grown on xylose possessed phosphoketolase activity (EC 4.1.2.9). In both strains the production of cell dry matter and growth rate were higher in cultures supplied with glucose. In xylose-grown cultures butyrivibrios tended to convert more substrate carbon into metabolites and less into cellular material than in cultures grown on glucose.
