FIG 6 .

Kinetic studies of wheat straw hydrolysis by the various complexes. The curves shown represent degradation by the tetravalent designer cellulosome (■), degradation by the trivalent designer cellulosome (▲), degradation by the trivalent designer cellulosome and the free wild-type Xyl43A (○), and degradation by the trivalent designer cellulosome and the 5-fold-concentrated free wild-type Xyl43A (●). Enzymatic activity is defined as µM total reducing sugars. Triplicates of each reaction were carried out. Standard deviations are indicated.
