Responses of Clostridia to oxygen: from detoxification to adaptive strategies
Tóm tắt
Clostridia comprise bacteria of environmental, biotechnological and medical interest and many commensals of the gut microbiota. Because of their strictly anaerobic lifestyle, oxygen is a major stress for Clostridia. However, recent data showed that these bacteria can cope with O2 better than expected for obligate anaerobes through their ability to scavenge, detoxify and consume O2. Upon O2 exposure, Clostridia redirect their central metabolism onto pathways less O2‐sensitive and induce the expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in O2‐reduction and in the repair of oxidized damaged molecules.
