As part of free cellulases or scaffolding proteins in cellulosomes, the hydrophilic non-catalytic X2 module is widely distributed in cellulolytic Clostridia or other Firmicutes bacteria. Previous biochemical studies suggest that X2 modules might increase

Pan-Cellulosomics of Mesophilic Clostridia: Variations on a Theme
The bacterial cellulosome is an extracellular, multi-enzyme machinery, which efficiently depolymerizes plant biomass by degrading plant cell wall polysaccharides.

Manipulating microRNA miR408 enhances both biomass yield and saccharification efficiency in poplar
The conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with associated negative growth impacts. Here we demonstrate, for both

The rumen bacterium Cellulosilyticum ruminicola H1 efficiently hydrolyzes cellulose. To gain insights into the regulatory mechanisms of cellulase synthesis, comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted for cultures grown on 2% filter paper, 0.5 and 0.

Role of the CipA Scaffoldin Protein in Cellulose Solubilization, as Determined by Targeted Gene Deletion and Complementation in Clostridium thermocellum [PDF]
The CipA scaffoldin protein plays a key role in the Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome. Previous studies have revealed that mutants deficient in binding or solubilizing cellulose also exhibit reduced expression of CipA. To confirm that CipA is, in fact,
