Genomic and enzymatic results show Bacillus cellulosilyticus uses a novel set of LPXTA carbohydrases to hydrolyze polysaccharides.

BACKGROUND: Alkaliphilic Bacillus species are intrinsically interesting due to the bioenergetic problems posed by growth at high pH and high salt. Three alkaline cellulases have been cloned, sequenced and expressed from Bacillus cellulosilyticus N-4 (Bcell) making it an excellent target for genomic...
