Seven genes related to arabinoxylan degradation were isolated from a genomic library of the thermophilic bacterium Clostridium stercorarium. The cloned genes include a xylanase gene (xynA), two beta-D-xylosidase genes (bx1A and bx1B), two alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase genes (arfA and arfB), and two genes (celW and celX) encoding enzymes termed celloxylanases, which hydrolyze both xylans and beta-D-cellobiosides. The genes xynA, celX, and bxlB were found to encode the major xylanolytic enzyme activities induced by growth of C. stercorarium on xylan.

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
