Research Reveals Regulatory Mechanism of Cellulosome Stoichiometry

Efficient biological degradation of cellulosic biomass has been recognized as one major bottleneck in production of cellulosic liquid fuels or biogas,and as the one key step in the carbon cycle of biosphere.In a new work published online in Nature Communications on 24 April,2015,a research team from the Single-Cell Center of the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology,Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a new mechanism in microbial degradation of lignocellulose,by reporting that cellulosome stoichiometry is regulated by selective
