Abstract
The major portion of cellulase activity of Bacteroides cellulosolvens was cell-associated. Cells grown on cellulose had a distinctive morphology, characterized by an amorphous outer cell wall layer with irregular, ‘fluffy’ projections. These cells had greater cell-associated cellulase activity than the cellobiose grown cells which exhibited a smooth, distinct outer layer. It is suggested that the outer layer characteristic of cellulose grown cells is the location of cellulase activity and the site for close cellulose-cell contact.
