The Bacterial Cellulosome

„These complex protein by bacteria rely on serial and performed Those enzymes are arranged on by means of receptor – ligand interactions. The Lego-like arrangement of subunits in Abstract Aspects of the structural and functional properties of the bacterial cellulosome, an enzyme complex combining several modes of degradation of cellulose, are described. Findings obtained by classical approaches, especially electron microscopy and studies of the degradation processes, are compared and substantially broadened by results of the application of recent investigation approaches and techniques. For a better understanding, this Mini review contains citations taken from a dissertation (s. below, section „New approaches“).
