Abstract excerpt
A gene, CEL1, in the maize pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum was identified using the cbh1-3 gene of Phanerochaete chrysosporium as a heterologous probe. The predicted product of CEL1, Cel1, is 62% identical and 71% similar to the product of cbh1-3 and 54 to 62% identical to five cellobiohydrolases...
