Fundamental features of microbial cellulose utilization are examined at successively higher
levels of aggregation encompassing the structure and composition of cellulosic biomass …

▪ Abstract The discrete multicomponent, multienzyme cellulosome complex of anaerobic
cellulolytic bacteria provides enhanced synergistic activity among the different resident …

In anaerobic environments rich in decaying plant material, the decomposition of cellulose is
brought about by complex communities of interacting microorganisms. Because the …

EXCISION of introns from nuclear precursors to messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) by the
spliceosome requires two distinct phosphodiester transfer (transesterification) reactions …

Cellulose and hemicellulose are the major plant structural polysaccharides and account for
approximately 70% of plant biomass (Ladisch et al., 1983). It has been estimated that the …

An inducible ferulic acid esterase (FAE-III) has been isolated, purified and partially
characterized from Aspergillus niger after growth on oat spelt xylan. The purification …

An endo-β-1, 4-glucanase (EC 3.2. 1.4) was purified from a culture filtrate of Aspergillus
niger IFO31125 by column chromatography through TSK-gel DEAE-3SW and TSK-gel …

CELLULOSE is the major polysaccharide component of plant cell walls and is the most
abundant organic compound on the planet. A number of bacterial1 and fungal2 organisms …

New extracellular endoglucanases, designated RCE1 and RCE2, produced by Rhizopus
oryzae isolated from the soil, were purified to apparent homogeneity from the culture …

Cellulose is one of the most abundant polymers in nature. Different living systems evolved
simultaneously, using structurally similar proteins to synthesize and metabolize …
