Basfia succiniciproducens

Basfia succiniciproducens Anaerobic batch process in complex medium 0.91 49 13 85 (132) 0.42 Scholten and Dagele (2008)... 

Three important natural succinate producers, Actinobacillus succinogenes, Mannheimia succiniciproducens, and Basfia succiniciproducens, all members of the Pasteurellaceae family within the y-proteobacteria, were isolated from mmen contents (Guettler et al., 1999 Lee et al., 2002 Kuhnert et al., 2010). All three species are capnophilic (thrive in the presence of high concentrations of carbon dioxide), facultative anaerobic bacteria which share a similar fermentative metabolism resulting in the production of succinate as major product accompanied by pyruvate dissimilation to lactate, acetate, formate, and in some cases to ethanol as minor products.

Amerobiospirullum succiniciproducens, and Actinobacillus succinogenes as well as genetically engineered strains of E. coli and Corynebacterium glutamicum. Also, newly discovered species of bacteria Basfia succiniciproducens have been reported by Scholten and Dagele (2008) to have exceptional promise for the fermentation of glycerol to succinic acid.
