Cellulase complexes similar to the cellulosomes of C. thermocellum were also identified in other cellulolytic bacteria such as the mesophilic species C. cellulovorans, C. cellulolyticum, C. papyrosolvens, Bacteroides cellulosolvens, Acetivibrio cellulolyticus,Ruminococcus albus, and Ruminococcus flavefaciens and the thermophilic species Clostridium clariflavum and Clostridium josui. They...

In general, two major types of subunit compose cellulosomes the noncatalytic scaffoldin(s) and the catalyticahy active components. Each of these structures may be quite complex. The assembly of the cehulosome is facilitated by the high-affinity recognition between the scaffoldin cohesin and the enzymes dockerin modules. The scaffoldin often contains multiple cohesin modules, thereby enabling numerous different enzymes to be assembled into the cehulosome complex. In addition, in some species, such as Acetivibrio cellulolyticus, the cellulosomes present multiple scaffoldins with different cohesins [41]. The interaction cohesin-dockerins is type and specie-specific.
