The C. acetobutylicum buk gene encodes butyrate kinase, which catalyzes the conversion of butyryl-phosphate to butyrate, constituting the terminal step in butyrate formation. This reaction is reversible, enabling buk to contribute not only to butyrate production but also to its re-assimilation when metabolic conditions favor flux in the opposite direction. Consistently, increased buk gene dosage enhances the overall capacity for butyric acid re-assimilation in recombinant strains [353].
