Comparison of the total number of the carbohydrate‐active enzyme genes encoding in the cellulosome‐producing clostridia.
Organism | GHs | GTs | PLs | CEs | Pathway genes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
C. cellulovorans 743B | 80 (53%) | 25 (17%) | 12 (8%) | 7 (5%) | 27 (17%) |
C. cellulolyticum H10 | 85 (64%) | 19 (15%) | 4 (3%) | 14 (11%) | 9 (7%) |
C. thermocellum ATCC 27405 | 63 (50%) | 34 (27%) | 4 (3%) | 13 (10%) | 11 (10%) |
GHs, glycosyl hydrolases; GTs, glycosyl transferases; PLs, polysaccharolytic lyases; CEs, carbohydrate esterases.
