Combining transcriptomic and metabolomic insights into carbohydrate utilization by Ruminiclostridium papyrosolvens DSM2782.

Background: Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable bioresource on earth, and its biodegradation and utilization would contribute to the sustainable development of the global environment. Ruminiclostridium papyrosolvens, an anaerobic, mesophilic, and cellulolytic bacterium, produces an enzymatic complex known as the cellulosome. As one of the most highly evolved species among Ruminiclostridium-type species, R.
