Clostridium carboxidivorans is a Gram-positive anaerobic, spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus Clostridium which has been isolated from an agricultural lagoon in Oklahoma in the United States. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Clostridium carboxidivorans is capable of fermenting carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, and produce ethanol, butanol and hexanol as end-products. [6] C. carboxidivorans does this using the wood-ljungdahl pathway.
