System overview. (a) Schematic of selected components of the R. flavefaciens cellulosome. The investigated XMod-Doc:Coh complex responsible for maintaining bacterial adhesion to cellulose is highlighted in orange. (b) Crystal structure of the XMod-Doc:Coh complex. Ca2+ ions are shown as orange spheres. (c) Depiction of experimental pulling configuration I, with CBM-Coh attached to the cantilever tip and Xyn-XMod-Doc attached to the glass surface.
