Understanding Biofilms of Anaerobic, Thermophilic and Cellulolytic Bacteria: A Study towards the Advancement of Consolidated Bioprocessing Strategies

The anaerobic, cellulolytic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum formed biofilms on cellulose consisting of a single layer of cells which did not secrete an extracellular polymeric matrix. Sporulation occurred under normal growth and was believed to assist with biofilm translocation to new substrates....
