Ma. Vallim et al., PHANEROCHAETE-CHRYSOSPORIUM CELLOBIOHYDROLASE AND CELLOBIOSE DEHYDROGENASE TRANSCRIPTS IN WOOD, Applied and environmental microbiology, 64(5), 1998, pp. 1924-1928
The transcripts of structurally related cellobiohydrolase genes in Pha
nerochaete chrysosporium-colonized wood chips were quantified. The tra
nscript patterns obtained were dramatically different from the transcr
ipt patterns obtained previously in defined media. Cellobiose dehydrog
enase transcripts were also detected, which is consistent with the hyp
othesis that such transcripts play an important role in cellulose degr
adation.
