The type IX secretion system: Insights into its function and connection to glycosylation in Cytophaga hutchinsonii
The recently discovered type IX secretion system (T9SS) is limited to the Bacteroidetes phylum.Cytophaga hutchinsonii, a member of the Bacteroidetes phylum widely spread in soil, has complete orthologs of T9SS components and many T9SS substrates.C.hutchinsonii mz7lh3t8hmlt can efficiently degrade crystalline cellulose using a novel strategy, in whi
