Abstract

The ultrastructural distribution of the cellulosome (a cellulose-binding, multi-cellulase protein complex) of the thermophilic anaerobe,Clostridium thermocellum, was investigated. The cellulosome is compacted into protuberant cell surface structures, which, upon interaction with cellulose, form extended contact corridors wherein cellulolysis apparently occurs.
