A Comprehensive Study of Biohopanoid Production in Alphaproteobacteria: Biosynthetic, Chemotaxonomical, and Geobiological Implications. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacteriohopanepolyol derivatives (BHPDs) and dia‐ and catagenetic products formed from these bacterial membrane modifiers are extensively used as biomarkers in molecular ecological and geoscience studies. Some BHPDs can be assigned to specific phylogenetic bacterial groups. With the vastly increasing availability of complete bacterial genomes,

Genome Sequence of Komagataeibacter saccharivorans Strain JH1, Isolated from Fruit Flies
We present the genome sequence of Komagataeibacter saccharivorans strain JH1, which belongs to the acetic acid bacteria. The draft genome sequence consists of 3.7 Mb and contains 3,437 predicted protein-encoding genes. This organism contains putative genes involved in cellulose and levan biosynthesis.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum on the silage quality, in situ digestibility, and microbial communities of apple pomace silage. The combined supplementation of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum in apple pomace silage improved fermentation quality and enhanced rumen utilization efficiency.

Characterization of the Putative Acylated Cellulose Synthase Operon in Komagataeibacter xylinus E25
Bacterial cellulose is a natural polymer with an expanding array of applications. Because of this, the main cellulose producers of the Komagataeibacter genus have been extensively studied with the aim to increase its synthesis or to customize its physicochemical features.
