Clostridium thermocellum Wild-Type Strain YS and Derived Cellulose Adherence Defective Mutant Strain AD2
Acetivibrio thermocellus YS
Clostridium thermocellum wild-type strain YS is an anaerobic, thermophilic, cellulolytic bacterium capable of directly converting cellulosic substrates into ethanol. Strain YS and a derived cellulose adherence defective mutant strain AD2 played pivotal roles in describing the original cellulosome concept.
