Optimizing the composition of a synthetic cellulosome complex for the hydrolysis of softwood pulp: identification of the enzymatic core functions and biochemical complex characterization

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background The development of efficient cellulase blends is a key factor for cost-effectively valorizing biomass in a new bio-economy. Today, the enzymatic hydrolysis of plant-derived polysaccharides is mainly accomplished with fungal cellulases, whereas

Elaborate cellulosome architecture of Acetivibrio cellulolyticus revealed by selective screening of cohesin–dockerin interactions [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2014
Cellulosic waste represents a significant and underutilized carbon source for the biofuel industry. Owing to the recalcitrance of crystalline cellulose to enzymatic degradation, it is necessary to design economical methods of liberating the fermentable ...

Towards Designer Cellulosomes in Clostridia: Mannanase Enrichment of the Cellulosomes Produced by Clostridium cellulolyticum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2004
ABSTRACT The man5K gene of Clostridium cellulolyticum was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli . This gene encodes a 424-amino-acid preprotein composed of an N-terminal leader peptide, followed by a dockerin module and a C-terminal catalytic module ...

The diversity of PET degrading enzymes: A systematic review of sequence, structure, and function

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most significant plastic pollutants. Unlike other plastic polymers, PET can be degraded by PET‐hydrolytic enzymes (PETases). Over the past two decades, numerous publications have reported the discovery, characterization, and engineering of PETases.

Bioactive polysaccharides and their potential health benefits in reducing the risks of metabolic syndrome: A review

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 288-314, September 2025.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Cellulosomics of the cellulolytic thermophile Clostridium clariflavum [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2014
Clostridium clariflavum is an anaerobic, thermophilic, Gram-positive bacterium, capable of growth on crystalline cellulose as a single carbon source. The genome of C. clariflavum has been sequenced to completion, and numerous cellulosomal genes were identified, including putative scaffoldin and enzyme subunits.Bioinformatic analysis of the C ...

Spatio‐temporal characteristics of the gastrointestinal resistome in a cow‐to‐calf model and its environmental dissemination in a dairy production system

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study revealed spatio‐temporal characteristics of gastrointestinal resistome in a cow‐to‐calf model and the pattern of their spread to the environment and offspring in the dairy production system. The gastrointestinal tract of dairy cows is a natural reservoir of resistomes and distinguished by gut sites and regions.
