Classification
Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; Clostridiaceae; Clostridium; Clostridium cellulolyticum
Genus: Clostridium; Species cellulolyticum H10
Description and Significance
Clostridium cellulolyticum strain H10 is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, mesophillic cellulolytic bacterium. The bacteria was first isolated from compost containing decayed grass. Studies have confirmed that this microbe is not a part of the rumen.
The ability of Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 to degrade cellulose is an active area of research. The products of cellulose degradation by this organism yields compounds such as acetate, and more importantly hydrogen and ethanol which can both be used as an alternative energy source.
Genome Structure
Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 has a circular genome consisting of 4,068,742 base pairs.
