Abstract
⺠The transcriptional response to different levels of butanol was investigated in acidogenic cultures of Clostridium acetobutylicum. ⺠Genes involved in the main catabolic pathways including typical solvent genes were not affected by butanol. ⺠Typical class I heat-shock genes are instantly upregulated at all butanol concentrations. ⺠The transcriptional response shows a two-phase pattern, which is most profound at 0.5% butanol or higher. ⺠Most differentially transcribed genes concern ABC-transporter genes or genes that affect the composition of the cell envelope.
