Formation of D-glucose, cellobiose, and other saccharides during synthesis of cellulose by Acetobacter acetigenum in a lactate-buffered glycerol medium.
Particulars of Microorganism and Its Cultivation-The strain of A. czcetigenum used was NCIB 8132 from the National Collection of Industrial Bacteria, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Teddington, Middlesex, England. The defined medium, made with distilled water, contained (grams per liter): KHZPOI, 2.0; MgS04.7 HSO, 1.0; FeS04.7 HZO, 0.01; (NH&HP04, 2.5; calcium n-pantothenate, ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Cellulose by Acetobacter Xylinum
Appearance of cellulose microfibrils in the medium of a suspension of cells of Acetobacter xylinum in buffered glucose solution was preceded by a stage during which the cellulose in the medium was amorphous within the available resolution. The size of the vertical axis of the microfibrils of the bacterial cellulose was found on the basis of measurement of shadow length to be only about 16 A. In...
متن کاملEnhancement of cellulose production by expression of sucrose synthase in Acetobacter xylinum.
Higher plants efficiently conserve energy ATP in cellulose biosynthesis by expression of sucrose synthase, in which the high free energy between glucose and fructose in sucrose can be conserved and used for the synthesis of UDP-glucose. A mixture of sucrose synthase and bacterial cellulose synthase proceeded to form UDP-glucose from sucrose plus UDP and to synthesize 1,4-beta-glucan from the su...
متن کاملProduction of cellulose II by Acetobacter xylinum in the presence of 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile.
This report provides X-ray diffraction and Raman spectral evidence that, when 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile is present in the culture medium, Acetobacter xylinum, which is a model system for investigation of the biosynthesis of native cellulose, produces cellulose II, as well as cellulose I. The significance of the observations with respect to the mechanism of biosynthesis of cellulose is discussed ...
متن کاملIncreased Cellulose Production from Sucrose by Acetobacter after Introducing the Sucrose Phosphorylase Gene.
A sucrose phosphorylase (SPase) gene derived from Leuconostoc mesenteroides was introduced into a cellulose-producing Acetobacter strain and expressed under the lac promoter. The activity of the SPase was detected in extracts of the transformed cells and cellulose production from sucrose by the cells was found to have increased, which strongly suggests that the increase was the result of the ne...
