Carbohydrate catabolite repression is functionally redundant for the fermentation of lignocellulose-derived sugars by Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum.

De deleting the ptsH gene in T. thermosaccharolyticum provides new insights into sugar catabolism regulation in T. thermosaccharolyticum, and for the first time demonstrates that CCR is not important when fermenting lignocellulose-derived sugars.
