The secretion of large heterologous cellulases by Clostridium acetobutylicum was formerly shown to be deleterious. To circumvent this issue, various scaffoldins' modules were grafted at their N termini. Family 3a cellulose binding module combined with an X2 module(s) was found to trigger the secretion of Clostridium cellulolyticum cellulases by the solventogenic bacterium.
