Publisher Summary The chapter focuses on the recent advances in understanding the
structural and functional organization of individual cellulases, their regulation, and the ways …

Several types of domain occur in beta-1, 4-glycanases. The best characterized of these are
the catalytic domains and the cellulose-binding domains. The domains may be joined by …

An endo-beta-1, 4-glucanase (CenA) and an exo-beta-1, 4-glucanase (Cex) were prepared
from Escherichia coli expressing recombinant DNA of the cellulolytic bacterium …

Feedstuffs consumed by ruminants are all initially exposed to fermentative activity in the
rumen prior to gastric and intestinal digestion. The extent and type of transformation of …

The cullulolytic enzyme systems of the bacterial genera Clostridium, Cellulomonas, Bacillus,
Thermonospora, Ruminococcus, Bacteriodes, Erwinia, and Acetivibrio, have ben reviewed …

Background The discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has
fundamentally changed our understanding of microbial lignocellulose degradation …

A family II cellulose-binding domain (CBD) of an exoglucanase/xylanase (Cex) from the
bacterium Cellulomonas fimi was replaced with the family I CBD of cellobiohydrolase I …

Cellulose is the most abundant biomass on Earth, and many microorganisms depend on it
as a source of energy. It consists mainly of crystalline and amorphous regions, and natural …

Five cellulose-binding polypeptides were detected in Cellulomonas fimi culture
supernatants. Two of them are CenA and CenB, endo-beta-1, 4-glucanases which have …

Actinobacteria in the genus Cellulomonas are the only known and reported cellulolytic
facultative anaerobes. To better understand the cellulolytic strategy employed by these …
