Production of Cellulose Microfibrils by Rhizobium [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1975
Electron microscope examination of Rhizobium spp. revealed microfibrils produced by flocculating strains but not by nonflocculating strains. The microfibrils from R. trifolii (NA30) were isolated and identified as cellulose by enzymatic, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectral analyses. Both

Folding of xylan onto cellulose fibrils in plant cell walls revealed by solid-state NMR

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The polysaccharide xylan binds to cellulose microfibrils in the plant cell wall, but the nature of this interaction remains unclear. Here Simmonset al.

Cellulose nanocrystals-microfibrils biocomposite with improved membrane performance

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2023
This study investigates eco-friendly membrane biocomposites derived from biomass, utilizing cellulose microfibrils (CMF) as the main membrane material. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), isolated from rice husk, were added as reinforcing fillers in CMF flat ...

A Structurally Specialized Uniform Wall Layer is Essential for Constructing Wall Ingrowth Papillae in Transfer Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Transfer cells are characterized by wall labyrinths with either a flange or reticulate architecture. A literature survey established that reticulate wall ingrowth papillae ubiquitously arise from a modified component of their wall labyrinth, termed the ...

Detecting the orientation of newly-deposited crystalline cellulose with fluorescent CBM3

open access: yesThe Cell Surface, 2022
Cellulose microfibril patterning influences many of the mechanical attributes of plant cell walls. We developed a simple, fluorescence microscopy-based method to detect the orientation of newly-synthesized cellulose microfibrils in epidermal peels of ...

Progress and Opportunities in the Characterization of Cellulose – An Important Regulator of Cell Wall Growth and Mechanics

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of this complex, heterogeneous structure, and in this way,

Characterization of Cellulose Synthesis in Plant Cells

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2016
Cellulose is the most significant structural component of plant cell wall. Cellulose, polysaccharide containing repeated unbranched β (1-4) D-glucose units, is synthesized at the plasma membrane by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC) from bacteria to ...

Cellulose biosynthesis in plants - the concerted action of CESA and non-CESA proteins

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2020
Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide produced by plants. In the form of rigid microfibrils surrounding the cells, cellulose constitutes the load-bearing cell wall element that controls cell growth and shape.

Single-molecular insights into the breakpoint of cellulose nanofibers assembly during saccharification

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Lignocellulose recalcitrance hampers its utilization for the production of biofuels and biosourced chemicals. Here, the authors reveal that the amorphous cellulose is the breakpoint of interact microfibrils and propose OsFC16/CESA9 as the engineering ...
