Synthesis 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 کاملAlternative Environmental Roles for Cellulose Produced by Acetobacter xylinum.
The cellulose-producing bacterium Acetobacter xylinum has been considered a strict aerobe, and it has been suggested that the function of cellulose is to hold cells in an aerobic environment. In this study, we showed that A. xylinum is capable of growing microaerophilically. Cellulose pellicles provided significant protection to A. xylinum cells from the killing effects of UV light. In experime...

Cellulose was the most abundant polymer or polysaccharide that presents as the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants but also signify for microbial extracellular polymer. The production of cellulose by microorganism such as Acetobacter xylinum sp. was most favored by researchers because the cellulose that produced was extremely pure and had a higher degree of polymerizat...
متن کاملThe synthesis of cellulose in cell-free extracts of Acetobacter xylinum.
In a previous publication (2) evidence was presented that the synthesis of chitin in Neurospora crassa occurs by way of a glycosyl transfer from uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine. The similarity of the structure of chitin and cellulose suggested that a like mechanism may be operative in the biosynthesis of cellulose. It has been shown by Hestrin and Schramm (3) that non-viable lyophilized...
