Expression of cellulosome components and type IV pili within the extracellular proteome of Ruminococcus flavefaciens 007.

BACKGROUND: Ruminococcus flavefaciens is an important fibre-degrading bacterium found in the mammalian gut. Cellulolytic strains from the bovine rumen have been shown to produce complex cellulosome structures that are associated with the cell surface. R. flavefaciens 007 is a highly cellulolytic str...
