    Abstract

    A genomic bank of Cellulomonas flavigena was constructed in E. coli using the pUC18 vector, and over 14000 clones screened for cellulolytic activity.
    Three different cellulolytic enzyme genes were cloned, one coding for an endo-β-glucanase (pJS10, CMC activity) and two coding for β-glucosidases, each with a distinct substrate specificity (pJS3, X-glu, and pJS4, X-glu and MUC activities).
    These three inserts have different restriction patterns to each other and the previously isolated cellulolytic enzyme genes from C. fimi and C. uda.
