The nucleotide sequence of the Clostridium thermocellum gene licB, coding for a thermoactive β‐1,3‐1,4‐glucanase, has been determined. The gene is located downstream, but in opposite orientation to the β‐glucosidase gene bglA. A coding region of 1002 bp is flanked by canonical promoter and transcrip...
