Abstract:Clostridium cellulovorans produces multi-enzyme complexes called cellulosomes capable of efficiently degrading cellulosic biomass. There are three xylanase genes containing a sequence corresponding to a dockerin domain that are necessary for constructing cellulosomes in the genome. Among the xylanases encoded by these genes, xylanase B (XynB) contains a catalytic domain belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10 and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) at the N-terminus, making it a member of CBM family 22.
