Cellulose degradation and biofilm formation in the developmental life cycle of the cellulolytic actinomycete Thermobifida fusca
Actinomycetes have been used with enormous success in industrial processes; however, little is known about biofilm development by these filamentous microbes, and the presence of community development on insoluble cellulosic substrates such as cellulose. Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer and...
