Efficient whole-cell-catalyzing cellulose saccharification using engineered Clostridium thermocellum

Abstract Background Cost-efficient saccharification is one of the main bottlenecks for industrial lignocellulose conversion. Clostridium thermocellum naturally degrades lignocellulose efficiently using the cellulosome, a multiprotein supermolecular complex, and thus can be potentially used as a low-...
