Cellulosilyticum ruminicola, a newly described rumen bacterium that possesses redundant fibrolytic-protein-encoding genes and degrades lignocellulose with multiple carbohydrate borne fibrolytic enzymes

The whole-genome sequencing for Cellulosilyticum ruminicola H1, a newly described bacterium isolated from yak (Bos grunniens) is performed to observe a comprehensive set of genes encoding the enzymes essential for hydrolyzing plant cell wall. Strain H1 is observed to degrade the plant-derived polysaccharides by producing individual fibrolytic enzymes while the majority of polysaccharide hydrolases contain carbohydrate-binding module.
