Bacterial cellulose (BC) is recognized as a multifaceted, versatile biomaterial with abundant
applications. Groups of microorganisms such as bacteria are accountable for BC synthesis …

The ability of bacterial cells to adhere to and interact with surfaces to eventually form a
biofilm is a crucial trait for the survival of any microorganism in a complex environment. As a …

Bacterial biofilms, which consist of three-dimensional extracellular polymeric substance
(EPS), not only function as signaling networks, provide nutritional support, and facilitate …

Cellulose, the most abundant biological macromolecule, is an extracellular, linear polymer
of glucose molecules. It represents an essential component of plant cell walls but is also …

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, and certain organisms from bacteria to
plants and animals synthesize cellulose as an extracellular polymer for various biological …

Production of cellulose has been thought to be restricted to a few bacterial species such as
the model organism Acetobacter xylinus. We show by enzymatic analysis and mass …

In this paper, we present a novel, ecologically friendly technology for the synthesis and
modification of kombucha-derived bacterial cellulose in order to produce textiles of desired …

In spite of much effort, no one has succeeded in isolating and characterizing the enzyme (s)
responsible for synthesis of cellulose, the major cell wall polymer of plants. We have …

There is probably no major biochemical process in plants that is both so important and so
poorly understood at the molecular level as cellulose synthesis. This is surprising, because …

We report here a new screening method based on the fluorescence of colonies on calcofluor
agar plates to identify transposon insertion mutants of Salmonella enteritidis that are …
