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 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, 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 …

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

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

Cellulose is produced by all plants and a number of other organisms, including bacteria. The
most representative cellulose-producing bacterial species is Gluconacetobacter xylinus, an …

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

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

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 …
