Metabolic modeling of clostridia: current developments and applications

Anaerobic Clostridium spp. is an important bio-production microbial genus that can produce solvents and utilize a broad spectrum of substrates including cellulose and syngas. Genome-scale metabolic (GSM) models are increasingly being put forth for various clostridial strains to explore their respective metabolic capabilities and suitability for various bioconversions. In this study, we have selected representative GSM models for six different clostridia (Clostridium acetobutylicum, Clostridium beijerinckii, Clostridium butyricum, Clostridium cellulolyticum, Clostridium ljungdahlii, and Clostridium thermocellum) and performed a detailed model comparison contrasting their metabolic repertoire. We also discuss various applications of these GSM models to guide metabolic engineering interventions as well as assessing cellular physiology.
