    Abstract

    Alkaline borohydride treatment of the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum yielded two major oligosaccharide-alditols. The compounds, isolated via gel permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, were analyzed by monosaccharide analysis, methylation analysis, gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, fast atom bombardment/mass spectrometry, and one- and two-dimensional 500-MHz (COSY, HOHAHA, ROESY) 1H NMR spectroscopy. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis combined with blotting technology indicated that the tetrasaccharide is mainly associated with one of the cellulosome subunits.
