Assembly of Synthetic Functional Cellulosomal Structures onto the Cell Surface of Lactobacillus plantarum, a Potent Member of the Gut Microbiome

An approach designed to extensively increase the cell surface display of proteins via successive assembly of interactive components of Lactobacillus plantarum, a widespread, environmentally important bacterium and potent microbiome member, for improved degradation of lignocellulosic biomass and advanced probiotics is presented.
