Subcellular distribution of glycanases and related components in Ruminococcus albus SY3 and their role in cell adhesion to cellulose

Aims: To compare the subcellular distribution of glycanase‐related components between wild‐type Ruminococcus albus SY3 and an adhesion‐defective mutant, to identify their possible contribution to the adhesion process, and to determine their association with cellulosome‐like complexes.
