Abstract: The present invention relates to a new strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum modified to be unable to produce hydrogen and its use for the continuous production of bulk chemicals such as lactate, 1,3-propanediol, ethanol, butanol, isobutanol, 1,3-butanediol, acetate, acetone, isopropanol, 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutyrate and isobutene at high yield.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant process for the production of truncated or mutated dextransucrases while conserving the enzymatic activity or their specificity in the synthesis of the ?-1,6 bonds. The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences of truncated or mutated dextransucrases, vectors containing the nucleic acid sequences and host cells transformed by sequences encoding truncated or mutated dextransucrases. In another aspect, the invention concerns a method for producing, in a recombinant manner, truncated or mutated dextransucrases which conserve their enzymatic activity or which conserve their specificity in the synthesis of ?-1,6 bonds and can produce, from saccharose, dextrans with high molar mass and modified rheological properties compared with the properties of dextran obtained with the native enzyme and isomalto-oligosaccharides with a controlled molar mass and dextrans.
