Background The extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor lactoaceticus can
degrade and metabolize untreated lignocellulosic biomass containing xylan. The …

Caldicellulosiruptor lactoaceticus 6A, an anaerobic and extremely thermophilic bacterium,
uses natural xylan as carbon source. The encoded genes of C. lactoaceticus 6A for …

Background The ability to deconstruct plant biomass without conventional pretreatment has
made members of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor the target of investigation for the …

Caldicellulosiruptor kronotskyensis grows on lignocellulosic biomass by the catalysis of
intrinsic glycoside hydrolase and has potential application for consolidated bioprocessing. In …

Caldicellulosiruptor species are hyperthermophilic, Gram-positive anaerobes and the most
thermophilic cellulolytic bacteria so far described. They have been engineered to convert …

Background Enzymatic removal of hemicellulose components such as xylan is an important
factor for maintaining high glucose conversion from lignocelluloses subjected to low-severity …

The xylanolytic extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor owensensis provides
a promising platform for xylan utilization. In the present study, two novel xylanolytic enzymes …

Xylanases are important for the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulose-based biomass to
produce biofuels and other value-added products. We report functional and structural …

Xylose, the major constituent of xylans, as well as the side chain sugars, such as arabinose,
can be metabolized by engineered yeasts into ethanol. Therefore, xylan-degrading enzymes …

The genome of the thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii encodes three
multimodular enzymes with identical C-terminal domain organizations containing two …
