Synthetic Medium for Acetobacter xylinum That Can Be Used for Isolation of Auxotrophic Mutants and Study of Cellulose Biosynthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acetobacter xylinum is a bacterium that can synthesize cellulose when grown in an undefined medium containing glucose. We developed a defined minimal medium for A. xylinum that contains 1% glucose, 0.1% NH(4)Cl, 0.115% citric acid, 0.33% Na(2)HPO(4), 0.01% KCl, 0.025% MgSO(4). 7H(2)O, and 7.5 mg of nicotinamide per liter which both allows cellulose synthesis and can be used to isolate a variety of auxotrophic mutants.

Production 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 کاملMathematical Modeling Of Bacterial Cellulose Production By Acetobacter Xylinum Using Rotating Biological Fermentor
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has a basic cellulose structure that gives high purity, high crystalline ability, high mechanical strength, and high water holding capacity. During the last few decades, BC has gained as an important biomaterial because of these unique physical and chemical characteristics. BC is synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum extracellularly in a suitable substrate media. Researche...
متن کاملBreeding of a 5-Fluorouridine-resistant Mutant with Increased Cellulose Production from Acetobacter xylinum subsp. nonacetoxidans.
UDP-glucose (UDP-G), the direct precursor of cellulose, is known to be produced from UTP and glucose-1-phosphate. In an attempt to increase UTP biosynthesis, 5-fluorouridine (5-FUR: a pyrimidine analog)-resistant mutants were obtained using Acetobacter xylinum subsp. nonacetoxidans 757 as the parent strain. One of the 5-FUR-resistant mutants, FUR-35, showed about 40% higher cellulose productivi...

Acetobacter xylinum sllbsp. sucrojlermentans BPR2001, a cellulose-producing bacterillm, that was newly isolated from a natural source, prodllced large amounts of the water-soluble po]ysaccharide, acetan. UDP-glucose is known to be the direct precllrsor in the synthetic pathways of both cellulose and acetan. We attempted to breed mutant strains and succeeded in obtalning olle, BPR3001A, which pr...
متن کاملIdentification of a second cellulose synthase gene (acsAII) in Acetobacter xylinum.
A second cellulose synthase gene (acsAII) coding for a 175-kDa polypeptide that is similar in size and sequence to the acsAB gene product has been identified in Acetobacter xylinum AY201. Evidence for the presence of this gene was obtained during analysis of A. xylinum mutants in which the acsAB gene was disrupted (I.M. Saxena, K. Kudlicka, K. Okuda, and R.M. Brown, Jr., J. Bacteriol. 176:5735-...
