Biogenesis of Bacterial Cellulose
Abstract
Cellulose is the most abundant biological polymer on Earth. It is found in wood and cotton, and forms the basic structural foundation of the cell wall of almost all eukaryotic plants. Bacteria are known to secrete cellulose as part of their metabolism of glucose and other sugars. The focus of this review is upon bacterial cellulose synthesis. We emphasize recent literature directed primarily upon Acetobacter xylinum, which has been most widely studied. Our review covers the following topics relating to cellulose synthesis: genetics, biochemistry, ultrastructure, growth conditions, and ecological considerations as they relate to the diversity of microbes capable of synthesizing this abundant, unique polymer--cellulose.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
