A 17-kb scaffoldin gene cluster in Ruminococcus flavefaciens strain FD-1 was compared with the homologous segment published for 17. Although general design of is identical two strains, significant differences modular architecture proteins were discovered, implying strain-specific divergence cellulosome organization.
