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

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 …

Abstract Background Cellulose, a 1, 4 beta-glucan polysaccharide, is produced by a variety
of organisms including bacteria. Although the production of cellulose has a high biological …

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

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 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 …

Production of cellulose has been thought to be restricted to a few bacterial species such as
the model organism Acetobacter xylinus. We show by enzymatic analysis and mass …

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

Distinct bacterial species belonging to the family of Enterobacteriaceae harbor a
characteristic cellulose biosynthesis operon (bcs). A regulatory network for cellulose …
