Complete genome sequence of the cellulolytic thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis OB47T.

ABSTRACT: Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis OB47(T) (ATCC BAA-2073, JCM 16842) is an extremely thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium capable of hydrolyzing plant-derived polymers through the expression of multidomain/multifunctional hydrolases. The complete genome sequence reveals a diverse set of carbohydrate-active enzymes and provides further insight into lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis at high temperatures.
