Secreted exopolysaccharides present important determinants for bacterial biofilm formation,
survival, and virulence. Cellulose secretion typically requires the concerted action of a c-di …

Many free-living and pathogenic enterobacteria secrete biofilm-promoting cellulose using a
multicomponent, envelope-embedded Bcs secretion system under the control of intracellular …

Cellulose is the world's most abundant biopolymer, and similar to its role as a cell wall
component in plants, it is a prevalent constituent of the extracellular matrix in bacterial …

Cellulose is the most abundant biological compound on Earth and while it is the
predominant building constituent of plants, it is also a key extracellular matrix component in …

Cellulose is frequently found in communities of sessile bacteria called biofilms. Escherichia
coli and other enterobacteriaceae modify cellulose with phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) to …

Extracellular bacterial cellulose contributes to biofilm stability and to the integrity of the
bacterial cell envelope. In Gram-negative bacteria, cellulose is synthesized and secreted by …

Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, is not only the predominant constituent of
plants but also a key extracellular polysaccharide in the biofilms of many bacterial species …

Many bacteria secrete cellulose, which forms the structural basis for bacterial multicellular
aggregates, termed biofilms. The cellulose synthase complex of Salmonella typhimurium …

The bacterial signaling molecule cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) stimulates the synthesis of
bacterial cellulose, which is frequently found in biofilms. Bacterial cellulose is synthesized …
