Revealing Nature’s Cellulase Diversity: The Digestion Mechanism of Caldicellulosiruptor bescii CelA
Abstract
An Enzyme Drill: Cellulase enzymes degrade the cell walls of plants by breaking down cellulose into its constituent sugar fragments and thus have attracted interest for biofuels production. Using transmission electron microscopy Brunecky et al. (p. 1513 ; see the Perspective by Berlin ) discovered that an especially active cellulase, CelA, from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii bacteria does not move along the surface of the substrate, but drills into the cellulose to form cavities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
