Summary A highly cellulolytic Cellulomonas mutant, CS1-17, has been shown to be improved over the original parent strain, CS1-1, with respect to xylanase and β-xylosidase activities. From induction studies during growth on xylan, crystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose it can be deduced that, although both activities have been similarly affected by the mutation, xylanolytic activity is distinct from cellulolytic activity; however, the possibility of some cross-specificity has not been eliminated.
