Many bacteria produce cellulose as an exopolysaccharide component of the extracellular
matrix in biofilms, which are large aggregates of bacterial cells often attached to abiotic or …

Recent studies of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, including structural characterization of a
functional cellulose synthase complex, provided the first mechanistic insight into this …

Cellulose is a linear extracellular polysaccharide. It is synthesized by membrane-embedded
glycosyltransferases that processively polymerize UDP-activated glucose. Polymer …

Cellulose, a linear polysaccharide polymer, has a structural role in bacterial biofilms by
providing a scaffold that protects and supports the growth of the biofilm. A recent study …

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

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 …

Biofilms are microbial communities characterized by three‐dimensional growth resulting
from the ability of individual cells to adhere to each other as well as to produce an …

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 …

Cellulose, a very abundant extracellular polysaccharide, is synthesized in a finely tuned
process that involves the activity of glycosyl-transferases and hydrolases. The cellulose …
