Cellulolytic Activity of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Clostridium acetobutylicum NRRL B527 and ATCC 824 exhibited extracellular and cell-bound endoglucanase and cellobiase activities during growth in a chemically defined medium with cellobiose as the sole source of carbohydrate. For both strains, the endoglucanase was found to be mainly extracellular (70 to 90%) during growth in continuous or batch cultures with the pH maintained at 5.2, whereas t...
متن کاملCharacterization of the cellulolytic complex (cellulosome) of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
A large cellulosomal gene cluster was identified in the recently sequenced genome of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824. Sequence analysis revealed that this cluster contains the genes for the scaffolding protein CipA, the processive endocellulase Cel48A, several endoglucanases of families 5 and 9, the mannanase Man5G, and a hydrophobic protein, OrfXp. Surprisingly, genetic organization of thi...
متن کاملAutolytic Activity and an Autolysis-Deficient Mutant of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The optimum conditions for autolysis and autoplast formation in Clostridium acetobutylicum P262 have been defined. Autolysis was optimal at pH 6.3 in 0.04 M sodium phosphate buffer, and the bacterium produced latent and active forms of an autolytic enzyme. The ability of cells to autolyze decreased sharply when cultures entered the stationary phase. Autoplasts were induced by 0.25 to 0.5 M sucr...
متن کاملTracking the cellulolytic activity of Clostridium thermocellum biofilms
BACKGROUND Microbial cellulose conversion by Clostridium thermocellum 27405 occurs predominantly through the activity of substrate-adherent bacteria organized in thin, primarily single cell-layered biofilms. The importance of cellulosic surface exposure to microbial hydrolysis has received little attention despite its implied impact on conversion kinetics. RESULTS We showed the spatial hetero...
متن کاملThe amylase of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The purification and concentration of enzymes by adsorption on charcoal, tannin, aluminum hydroxide, ion exchange resins, and so forth, has been an established practice in the laboratory. Some years before this work was done in 1949, alkali-cooked lignin was used as an adsorbent for mold and malt amylase (Wallerstein et al., 1945). In this paper is described our study of the adsorption of the a...
