Adherence of Clostridium thermocellum to cellulose [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 The adherence of Clostridium thermocellum, a cellulolytic, thermophilic anaerobe, to its insoluble substrate (cellulose) was studied. The adherence phenomenon was determined to be selective for cellulose. The observed adherence was not significantly affected by various parameters, including salts, pH, temperature, detergents, or soluble sugars.

Form and Function of Clostridium thermocellum Biofilms [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACT The importance of bacterial adherence has been acknowledged in microbial lignocellulose conversion studies; however, few reports have described the function and structure of biofilms supported by cellulosic substrates. We investigated the organization, dynamic formation, and carbon flow associated with biofilms of the ...

Isolation of Clostridium thermocellum Auxotrophs [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1982 Spontaneous and UV irradiation-induced auxotrophic mutants of Clostridium thermocellum , an anaerobic cellulolytic thermophile, were isolated after penicillin enrichment in a chemically defined medium.

Organization and distribution of the cellulosome in Clostridium thermocellum [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1985 The properties of the cellulosome (the cellulose-binding, multicellulase-containing protein complex) in Clostridium thermocellum were examined by comparing the cellulase systems derived from the wild type and an adherence-defective mutant. The growth conditions--specifically, growth either on cellulose (Avicel) or on cellobiose as insoluble or soluble ...

Characterization of Clostridium thermocellum JW20 [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1988 Clostridium thermocellum JW20 (ATCC 31549), which was isolated from a Louisiana cotton bale, grew on cellulose, cellobiose, and xylooligomers and, after adaptation, on glucose, fructose, and xylose in the pH range of 7.5 to 6.1 with T opt of 60 C, T max of ...

Elimination of formate production in Clostridium thermocellum [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015 Abstract The ability of Clostridium thermocellum to rapidly degrade cellulose and ferment resulting hydrolysis products into ethanol makes it a promising platform organism for cellulosic biofuel production via consolidated bioprocessing.

Nanoscale resolution of microbial fiber degradation in action
eLife, 2022 The lives of microbes unfold at the micron scale, and their molecular machineries operate at the nanoscale. Their study at these resolutions is key toward achieving a better understanding of their ecology.

Differential metabolism of cellobiose and glucose by Clostridium thermocellum and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum consumed glucose in preference to cellobiose as an energy source for growth. The rates of substrate uptake in glucose- and cellobiose-grown cell suspensions were 45 and 24 nmol/min per mg (dry weight), respectively, at 65 degrees C.
