To develop functional metabolic engineering platforms for nonmodel microorganisms, a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and metabolic characteristics is critical. Caldicellulosiruptor bescii and other species in this genus have untapped potential for conversion of unpretreated plant biomass into industrial fuels and chemicals. The highly interactive and complex machinery used by C. bescii to acquire and process complex carbohydrates contained in lignocellulose was elucidated here to complement related efforts to develop a metabolic engineering platform with this bacterium.
