Mechanisms in Cellulose Biosynthesis
Cellulose is a major industrial biopolymer in the forest products, textile, and chemical industries. It also forms a large portion of the biomass useful in the generation of energy. Moreover, cellulose-based biomass is a renewable energy source that can be used for the generation of ethanol as a fuel. Cellulose is synthesized by a variety of living organisms, including plants, algae, bacteria, ...
متن کاملCellulose Biosynthesis in Oomycetes
Oomycetes have long been considered as a separate class within the kingdom Fungi, but they are in fact closer to brown algae. They are currently classified in the Stramenopile eukaryotic kingdom, which includes heterokont algae and water molds. The major cell wall polysaccharides in Oomycetes are β-(1 3) and β-(1 6)-glucans, as well as cellulose, which has never been reported in any fungal spec...
متن کاملCellulose structure and biosynthesis *
Carbohydrate researchers may think it is reasonable to believe that the synthesis and structure of a crystalline b-1,4 glucan would be quite straightforward; however, this is not the case. The pitfalls and detours of research have been counterbalanced by exciting new discoveries in cellulose structure, biosynthesis, and molecular biology. Cellulose exists in crystalline and noncrystalline state...
متن کاملCellulose biosynthesis: counting the chains.
At the heart of the process by which plants take shape are cellulose microfibrils, wrapped around each cell in a pattern that constrains the direction in which the cell can grow. Although much of the biosphere’s carbon passes through the process of cellulose biosynthesis, our understanding of this process has been slow to develop and is based on an intricate mixture of experimental observations...
متن کاملChemical genetics to examine cellulose biosynthesis
Long-term efforts to decode plant cellulose biosynthesis via molecular genetics and biochemical strategies are being enhanced by the ever-expanding scale of omics technologies. An alternative approach to consider are the prospects for inducing change in plant metabolism using exogenously supplied chemical ligands. Cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors (CBIs) have been identified among known herbici...
