Abstract excerpt
Progress towards understanding the molecular basis of cellulolysis by Clostridium cellulolyticm was obtained through the study of the first cellulolysis defective mutant strain, namely cipCMut1. In this mutant, a 2 659 bp insertion element, disrupts the cipC gene at the sequence encoding the seventh cohesin of the scaffoldin CipC. cipC is the first gene in a large 'cel' gene cluster, encoding several enzymatic...
