J Bacteriol. 2011 Jun;193(11):2906-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.00322-11. Epub 2011 Apr 1.

Abstract

Clostridium thermocellum DSM1313 is a thermophilic, anaerobic bacterium with some of the highest rates of cellulose hydrolysis reported. The complete genome sequence reveals a suite of carbohydrate-active enzymes and demonstrates a level of diversity at the species level distinguishing it from the type strain ATCC 27405.
