• A species of gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae frequently used for the study of ENZYMES . (nih.gov)
  • A species of anaerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae that produces proteins with characteristic neurotoxicity. (bvsalud.org)
  • New B12 coenzyme-dependent enzymes that catalyzed intermediate steps in the anaerobic conversion of lysine to fatty acids and ammonia were isolated from C. sticklandii and characterized. (nih.gov)
  • Clostridium sticklandii belongs to a cluster of non-pathogenic proteolytic clostridia which utilize amino acids as carbon and energy sources. (pasteur.fr)
  • C. sticklandii is one of the best biochemically studied proteolytic clostridial species. (pasteur.fr)
  • With the goal of revisiting its carbon, nitrogen, and energy metabolism, and comparing studies with other clostridia, its genome has been sequenced and analyzed. (pasteur.fr)
  • A rather unusual metabolic feature is the presence of genes for all the enzymes involved in two different CO2-fixation pathways: C. sticklandii harbours both the glycine synthase/glycine reductase and the Wood-Ljungdahl pathways. (pasteur.fr)
  • These organisms, Methanococcus vannielii and Clostridium sticklandii, proved to be especially rich sources of selenium-dependent enzymes and seleno-tRNAs. (nih.gov)
