Isolation and Characterization of Cellulose - Producing Bacteria from Local Samples of Iran

Bacterial cellulose is produced by several species of Acetobacter and because of its unique properties; it has advantages over plant cellulose. Today, this biopolymer has numerous applications at many industrial fields. In this research, samples from different sources of Iran were collected and cultivated in an enrichment liquid medium for growth of acetic acid bacteria. After purification the ...

The photographic examination of giant colonies.

Recently (1949) we recorded particulars of giant colonies of Acetobacter species which had been grown on a semi-solid medium. In such conditions certain species, e.g., A . aceti (Kiitzing) Beijerinck, form highly characteristic colonies. Other species, including the majority of the known species of Acetobacter, characterized by colonies of a particular type, can be classified in a number of gro...

Alternative 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...

Cellulose biosynthesis in Acetobacter xylinum: visualization of the site of synthesis and direct measurement of the in vivo process.

In vivo synthesis of cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum was monitored by darkfield light microscopy. Cellulose is synthesized in the form of a ribbon projecting from the pole of the bacterial rod. The ribbon elongates at a rate of 2 mum min-1. The ribbon consists of approximately 46 microfibrils which average 1.6 X 5.8 nm in cross section. The observed microfibrillar elongation rate corresponds t...
