Biosynthesis of Bacterial Cellulose

, 2016
Since the first identification of genes for cellulose biosynthesis in Gluconacetob acter xylinus more than 20 years ago, homologous sequences have been identified in the genomes of a large number of bacterial species. The genes for cellulose biosynthesis are organized in an operon consisting of three to four genes and this organization is conserved in ...

Emulsion formation and stabilization by biomolecules: the leading role of cellulose [PDF]

, 2019
Emulsion stabilization by native cellulose has been mainly hampered because of its insolubility in water. Chemical modification is normally needed to obtain water-soluble cellulose derivatives.

Promiscuous, non-catalytic, tandem carbohydrate-binding modules modulate the cell-wall structure and development of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants [PDF]

, 2007
We have compared heterologous expression of two types of carbohydrate binding module (CBM) in tobacco cell walls. These are the promiscuous CBM29 modules (a tandem CBM29-1-2 and its single derivative CBM29-2), derived from a non-catalytic protein1 ...
