Characterization of two noncellulosomal subunits, ArfA and BgaA, from Clostridium cellulovorans that cooperate with the cellulosome in plant cell wall degradation

Rsearch has been conducted on plant cell wall degradation by Clostridium cellulovorans. The hemicellulose degradation system of this bacterium has been investigated via the characterization of noncellulosomal alpha-arabinosidae genes, and the details are reported.
