Abstract excerpt
Clostridium thermocellum efficiently degrades crystalline cellulose by a high molecular weight protein complex, the cellulosome. The bacterium regulates its cellulosomal genes using a unique extracellular biomass-sensing mechanism that involves alternative sigma factors and extracellular carbohyd...
