Figure 7

Immuno-EM micrographs reveal the pattern of penetration of CelA enzymes into pretreated corn stover cell walls and confirm that CelA enzymes occupy the cavities generated in APCS and CFCS. (a,a’) The labeled enzymes (white arrows) in DACS samples appear in cleared zones well into the secondary cell wall and do not appear to be associated with surface lignin globules. (b,b’,c,c’) CelA enzyme labeled in APCS and CFCS cell walls were most often found within cavities that connect to the cell wall surface and penetrate into the secondary cell wall. (d) Quantitation of the immune gold α-CelA CBM3 labeling density shows 3–4 times the labeling density in the digested APCS or CFCS compared to DACS.
