Temporal proteome dynamics of Clostridium cellulovorans cultured with major plant cell wall polysaccharides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clostridium cellulovorans is a mesophilic, cellulosome-producing bacterium containing 57 genomic cellulosomal enzyme-encoding genes. In addition to cellulosomal proteins, C. cellulovorans also secretes non-cellulosomal proteins to degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides. Unlike other cellulosome-producing Clostridium species, C. cellulovorans can metabolize all major plant cell wall polysaccharides (cellulose, hemicelluloses, and pectins). In this study, we performed a temporal proteome analysis of C. cellulovorans to reveal strategies underlying plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation.

Results

We cultured C. cellulovorans with five different carbon sources (glucose, cellulose, xylan, galactomannan, and pectin) and performed proteome analysis on cellular and se
