Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis OB47

Names Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis OB47
Accession numbers NC_014392
Background Caldicellulosiruptor obsidiansis (strain ATCC BAA-2073 / strain OB47) is an extremely thermophilic anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium isolated from Obsidian Pool, Yellowstone National Park, USA, in enrichment cultures containing dilute acid-pretreated switchgrass as the primary carbon and energy source, for bioprocessing. It is a novel cellulolytic bacterium capable of hydrolyzing plant-derived polymers through the expression of multidomain/multifunctional hydrolases. (Adapted from PMID: 20851897). (EBI Integr8)
