Fig. 7From: Combining free and aggregated cellulolytic systems in the cellulosome-producing bacterium Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum Avicelase activity of the purified cellulosomes produced by the various recombinant R. cellulolyticum strains. The purified cellulosomes were assayed at 8 mg/L on 3.5 g/L microcrystalline cellulose for 24 h at 37°C. Released soluble sugars were identified and quantified by HPAEC-PAD. The recombinant strains carrying either p0, pCel9A or pCel9Ac are indicated at the bottom of each bar. G1, G2, G3 and G4 designate glucose, cellobiose, cellotriose and cellotetraose, respectively. The data show the mean of three independent experiments and the bars indicate the standard deviation.Back to article page
