Abstract
Cellulose colonization by Clostridium cellulolyticum was studied by us ing [methyl-H-3]thymidine incorporation. The colonization process indi cated that a part of the bacterial population was released from cellul ose to the liquid phase before binding and colonizing another adhesion site of the cellulose. We postulate that cellulose colonization occur s according to the following process: adhesion, colonization, release, and readhesion.
