Colocalization and Disposition of Cellulosomes in <italic toggle="yes">Clostridium clariflavum</italic> as Revealed by Correlative Superresolution Imaging

ABSTRACT Cellulosomes are multienzyme complexes produced by anaerobic, cellulolytic bacteria for highly efficient breakdown of plant cell wall polysaccharides. Clostridium clariflavum is an anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium that produces the largest assembled cellulosome complex in nature to date, c...
