Cellulosome and noncellulosomal cellulases of Clostridium cellulovorans
Extremophiles, 1998This paper reviews the properties of the cellulosome and noncellulosome cellulases produced by Clostridium cellulovorans, an anaerobic, mesophilic, spore-forming microorganism that produces copious amounts of cellulase. The three major subunits of the cellulosome, CbpA, exoglucanase S (ExgS), and P100, are described, as well as the properties of the ...

Cellulosomes: bacterial nanomachines for dismantling plant polysaccharides
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2016Cellulosomes are multienzyme complexes that are produced by anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. They comprise a complex of scaffoldin, which is the structural subunit, and various enzymatic subunits. The intersubunit interactions in these multienzyme complexes are mediated by cohesin and dockerin modules ...

The cellulosome — A treasure-trove for biotechnology
Trends in Biotechnology, 1994The cellulases of many cellulolytic bacteria are organized into discrete multienzyme complexes, called cellulosomes. The multiple subunits of cellulosomes are composed of numerous functional domains, which interact with each other and with the cellulosic substrate.

Cellulosomes: plant-cell-wall-degrading enzyme complexes
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2004Cellulose, the main structural component of plant cell walls, is the most abundant carbohydrate polymer in nature. Although abundant, it is extremely difficult to degrade, as it is insoluble and is present as hydrogen-bonded crystalline fibres. Anaerobic microorganisms have evolved a system to break down plant cell walls that involves the formation of ...

The Cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum
1988Publisher Summary The accelerated interest in microbial cellulases stems from their potential industrial application. This area is an excellent example in which basic and applied science are closely interlinked: the better understood the mechanism of cellulase action; the better can be the applicative value as a biotechnological process. This chapter

The cellulosome of Clostridium cellulolyticum
Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2005Clostridium cellulolyticum ATCC 35319 has been extensively studied in the past few years on both the enzymatic and metabolic aspects of cellulose degradation and is considered as the model of mesophilic cellulolytic clostridia. As is true of most cellulolytic clostridia, this bacterium possesses an extracellular multi-enzymatic complex, the cellulosome.
