Csac growth on model substrates found in lignocellulose

ABSTRACT: The co-utilization of hexoses and pentoses derived from lignocellulose is an attractive trait for in microorganisms considered for consolidated biomass processing to biofuels. This issue was examined for the H2-producing, extremely thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus growing on oligosaccharides (composed of glucose and xylose) compared to monosaccharides. Based on the whole-genome transcriptional response analysis and comparative genomics, carbohydrate specificities for transport systems could be proposed for a number of the 24 putative carbohydrate ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in the C. saccharolyticus genome. Transcriptome analysis showed different transporters were utilized for uptake of oligosaccharides than those used for monosaccharides uptake. No e
