To the uninitiated, the genus Clostridium is likely more to be
associated with disease than biotechnology. In this volume, we have
sought to remedy this misconception by compiling aseries of
chapters which, together, provide a practically-oriented handbook
of the biotechnologie potential of the genus. Clostridium is a
broad grouping of organisms that together undertake a myriad of
biocatalytic reactions. In the first two chapters, the reader is
introduced to this diversity, both taxonomically and
physiologically. In the following chapter, the current state of
genetic analysis of members of the genus is reviewed. The remaining
chapters concentrate on specific, exploit able aspects of
individual Clostridium species-highlighting their range of unique
capabilities (of potential or recognized industrial value), particu
larly in the areas of biotransformation, enzymology, and the
production of chemical fuels. Fittingly, the final chapter
demonstrates that even the most toxic of the clostridia can be of
therapeutic value. The contributors to this volume reflect the
trans national interest in Clostridium, and we are indebted to each
of them for making this volume possible. We particularly wish to
acknowledge the contributions, both to this volume and to
microbiology in general, of Dr. Elizabeth Cato, who, sadly, died
shortly be fore publication ofthis volume. Finally, we would like
to join the authors in recommending closer and wider consideration
of the attributes and capabilities of this genus.
