Bacterial Cellulose Synthase Catalyzes the Formation of Chitin

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 15, 20 April 2026.
Recombinant BcsA‐B from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is shown to cleave UDP‐GlcNAc (uridine diphosphate N‐acetylglucosamine), generating chitin with distinct β‐chitin Raman bands. These findings reveal that a cellulose synthase can process an alternative nucleotide sugar, providing biochemical evidence for the co‐synthesis of cellulose and chitin.

Identification of Quorum-Sensing Molecules of N-Acyl-Homoserine Lactone in Gluconacetobacter Strains by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Molecules, 2019
Many Gram-negative bacteria can regulate gene expression in a cell density-dependent manner via quorum-sensing systems using N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are typical quorum-sensing signaling molecules, and thus modulate physiological ...

Neurons in a Dish: A Review of In Vitro Cell Models for Studying Neurogenesis

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 1, January 2026.
Different in vitro cell models are valuable to study the different steps of neurogenesis, from the proliferation of neural stem and progenitor cells to the maturation of neurons. Pluripotent stem cells (including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells), immortalized human neuroblastoma cell lines (SH‐SY5Y, IMR‐32), and primary brain ...

Comparison of Bacterial Cellulose Production among Different Strains and Fermented Media

Applied Food Biotechnology, 2015
The effect of different carbon sources on bacterial cellulose production by Gluconacetobacter xylinus (PTCC 1734) and two newly isolated strains (from vinegar) under static culture conditions was studied.

Improved production of bacterial cellulose through investigation of effects of inhibitory compounds from lignocellulosic hydrolysates

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Although the unique nanostructure of bacterial cellulose (BC) imparts superior mechanochemical properties and thus allows for diverse applications, the high production cost of BC necessitates the development of more cost‐effective solutions, for example,

Autonomous Implants

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 45, November 13, 2025.
An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.

Phylogeny and differentiation of species of the genus Gluconacetobacter and related taxa based on multilocus sequence analyses of housekeeping genes and reclassification of Acetobacter xylinus subsp. sucrofermentans as Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans (Toyosaki et al. 1996) sp. nov., comb. nov.

, 2010
Three housekeeping genes (dnaK, groEL and rpoB) of strains belonging to the genus Gluconacetobacter (37 strains) or related taxa (38 strains) were sequenced. Reference strains of the 15 species of the genus Gluconacetobacter were included.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Engrafted Bacterial Cellulose and Graphene Oxide Scaffolds Enhance Peripheral Nerve Repair in a Rat Model

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 310, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study investigates the use of graphene oxide‐decorated bacterial cellulose (BC/GO) scaffolds combined with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to enhance axonal regeneration after sciatic nerve injury in rats. Graphene oxide is embedded monodispersely into the BC fibrillar matrix.
