Cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic capacity of Acetivibrio clariflavus.

ABSTRACT: Lignocellulosic biomass represents the largest available renewable source of carbon. It is a recalcitrant mixture of different polysaccharides and lignin. For its complete degradation, a large set of enzymes capable of cleaving its individual components is required. Several anaerobic bacteria produce high-molecular-weight multienzyme complexes called cellulosomes where the enzymes work in synergy for efficient degradation of the complex plant material. One of the anaerobic thermophilic cellulosome-forming bacteria is Acetivibrio clariflavus. Acetivibrio clariflavus was found to be one of the most abundant lignocellulose-solubilizing bacteria in various plant decaying environments. It produces sophisticated cellulosomal complex that is most similar to mesophilic Acetivibrio cellulolyticus c
