Proteomic Dissection of the Cellulolytic Machineries Used by Soil-Dwelling <italic toggle="yes">Bacteroidetes</italic>

ABSTRACT Bacteria of the phylum Bacteroidetes are regarded as highly efficient carbohydrate metabolizers, but most species are limited to (semi)soluble glycans. The soil Bacteroidetes species Cytophaga hutchinsonii and Sporocytophaga myxococcoides have long been known as efficient cellulose metaboli...
