Complete genome sequence of the cellulolytic thermophile Clostridium thermocellum DSM1313.
Clostridium thermocellum DSM1313 is a thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium with some of the highest rates of cellulose hydrolysis reported. The complete genome sequence reveals a suite of carbohydrate-active enzymes and demonstrates a level of diversity at the species level distinguishing it from the type strain ATCC 27405.
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 کاملCellulolytic 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 کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of Clostridium thermocellum in Cellulolytic Consortium after Artificial Reconstruction to Enhance Ethanol Production
The cellulolytic and ethanologenic bacterial community is a promising candidate for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulose. In this study, by artificially changing the ratio of Clostridium thermocellum in the cellulolytic consortium H, ethanol production was increased by 72.7%. Metatranscriptomic analysis was used to elucidate the contribution of Clostridium thermocellum to ethanol pr...
متن کاملMacromolecular Organization of the Cellulolytic Enzyme Complex of Clostridium thermocellum as Revealed by Electron Microscopy.
Clostridium thermocellum JW20 and YM4 both synthesize cellulolytic enzyme complexes, cellulosomes, when grown on medium containing cellulose. Electron microscopic studies showed that, in the early stages of growth of strain JW20, clusters of tightly packed cellulosomes, i.e., polycellulosomes, were located on the cell surface and were bound to cellulose. The polycellulosome was estimated to hav...
