Abstract

Cellulosomes are cell surface protuberances which contain cellulases functional in substrate adherence and hydrolysis. The mycelia of Thermomonospora curvata, which adhere to and grow on native cellulose fibres, formed cellulosomal structures during cellulase induction, but did not when cellulase biosynthesis was repressed. Cell-bound enzyme accounted for about 5% of total culture cellulase activity.
