The Clostridium acetobutylicum mutant IFP 904 (ATCC 39058) is obtained by spreading a culture of a strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum at the surface of a solid culture medium containing n-butanol at a specified concentration, growing the strain in the presence of a mutagenic agent and recovering a strain of increased resistance to n-butanol. Recently, it was shown that a homologue to Bacillus subtilis stage 0 sporulation protein A (Spo0A) controls both the onset of solventogenesis and the process of sporulation in Clostridium beijerinckii and C. acetobutylicum (18, 31) In strain SKO1 of C. acetobutylicum, where spo0A is inactivated, acetone and butanol production are reduced to 2 and 8% of wild-type levels, respectively.
