Cell-surface attachment of bacterial cellulosomes revealed by UCIBIO researchers
Benedita Pinheiro, Ana Luísa Carvalho and Maria João Romão, researchers from UCIBIO at FCT-NOVA, in a long lasting collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Lisbon University), contribute to the elucidation of the unique molecular mechanisms used by anaerobic bacteria for cellular attachment of cellulosomes. Cellulosomes are one of Nature’s most intricate multi-enzyme complexes dedicated to degrade cellulosic biomass to simpler sugars.
