"Cellvibrio japonicus; a promising system of starch degradation"

Starch constitutes a very large portion of both plant mass and human caloric intake and the utilization of starch degrading organisms is currently being exploited to produce biofuels. Here, we examine the some of the starch degrading capabilities of Cellvibrio japonicus using both transcriptomics and functional genetics.
