D - (+) - Cellotetraose can serve as a substrate for cellulose degrading enzymes in Bacillus species, promoting the conversion of cellulose biomass in industrial applications.
D - (+) - Cellotetraose is the main initial product produced by the progressive endo - β -1,4-glucanase Cel9R hydrolysis of amorphous cellulose by Clostridium thermocellum.
D - (+) - Cellotetraose (0 min-18 h) is the only early detectable hydrolysis product produced by the degradation of PASC by purified recombinant Cel9R from Clostridium thermocellum F7. After incubation for 18 h, the product slowly converts to glucose, cellobiose, and cellotriose
