Production of minicellulosomes from Clostridium cellulovorans in Bacillus subtilis WB800
Article Abstract:
The two gene encoding EngB endoglucanase and mini-CbpA1 scaffolding protein of Clostridium cellulovorans are constructed and coexpressed in Bacillus subtilis. The in vivo synthesis of minicellulosomes suggests that it is possible to insert into B. subtilis cellulosomal genes that would allow growth on cellulosic materials and the production of various designer cellulosomes with specific functions.

Manipulating corynebacteria, from individual genes to chromosomes
Article Abstract:
The various recombinant DNA tools that are available for genetic manipulations of corynebactria, with an emphasis on Corynebacterium glutamicium are presented. The efficiency of microbial technology should be optimized in order to produce commodity biochemicals and expand the industrial scope and societal impact of biotechnology.
