Cell-Surface and Periplasmic Deconstruction of Xylan by Oligotrophic Bacterium Caulobacter vibrioides.
Results from studies using enzyme assays and chromatographic analyses suggest that bacteria deconstruct xylan in a surface-bound manner leading to efficient uptake of xylo-oligosaccharides across the outer membrane, without loss of nutrients to the environment.
