Abstract	The metabolism of Clostridium butyricum was manipulated at pH 6.5 and in phosphate-limited chemostat culture by changing the overall degree of reduction of the substrate using mixtures of glucose and glycerol. Cultures grown on glucose alone produced only acids (acetate, butyrate, and lactate) and a high level of hydrogen. In contrast, when glycerol was metabolized, 1,3-propanediol became the major product, the specific rate of acid formation decreased, and a low level of hydrogen was observed. Glycerol consumption was associated with the induction of (i) a glycerol dehydrogenase and a dihydroxyacetone kinase feeding glycerol into the central metabolism and (ii) an oxygen-sensitive glycerol dehydratase and an NAD-dependent 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase involved in propanediol formation. The redirection of the electron flow from hydrogen to NADH formation was associated with a sharp decrease in the in vitro hydrogenase activity and the acetyl coenzyme A (CoA)/free CoA ratio that allows the NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase bidirectional enzyme to operate so as to reduce NAD in this culture. The decrease in acetate and butyrate formation was not explained by changes in the concentration of phosphotransacylases and acetate and butyrate kinases but by changes in in vivo substrate concentrations, as reflected by the sharp decrease in the acetyl-CoA/free CoA and butyryl-CoA/free CoA ratios and the sharp increase in the ATP/ADP ratio in the culture grown with glucose and glycerol compared with that in the culture grown with glucose alone. As previously reported for Clostridium acetobutylicum (L. Girbal, I. Vasconcelos, and P. Soucaille, J. Bacteriol. 176:6146–6147, 1994), the transmembrane pH of C. butyricum is inverted (more acidic inside) when the in vivo activity of hydrogenase is decreased (cultures grown on glucose-glycerol mixture). For both cultures, the stoichiometry of the H+ ATPase was shown to remain constant and equal to 3 protons exported per molecule of ATP consumed.
