Abstract
Clostridium ljungdahlii is an anaerobic, rod-shaped, motile, endospore-forming, gram-positive bacterium.Tanner, R.S., L.M. Miller, and D. Yang (1993) Clostridium ljungdahlii sp. nov., an acetogenic species in clostridial rRNA homology group I. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 43:232-6. it is named after Lars G. Ljungdahl.lpsn.dsmz.de, list of prokaryotic names with standing nomenclature. This species can ferment certain components of syngas into ethanol.Younesi, H., G. Najafpour, and A.R. Mohamed (2005) Ethanol and acetate production from synthesis gas via fermentation processes using anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium ljungdahlii. Biochem. Eng. J. 27:110-119 It also possesses properties of electrosynthesis, producing acetate on cathodes.
