Semimicro determination of cellulose in biological materials.
TLDR
The semimicro method gives quantitative recovery of purified cellulose from microbiological culture media, and also appears to be satisfactory for cellulOSE from paper pulp.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The biological degradation of cellulose
Pierre Béguin,Jean-Paul Aubert +1 more
TL;DR: The study of cellulolytic enzymes at the molecular level has revealed some of the features that contribute to their activity and an increasing number of three-dimensional structures are becoming available for cellulases and xylanases belonging to different families, which will provide paradigms for molecular modeling of related enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic liquid processing of cellulose
TL;DR: This critical review will assess the greenness and sustainability of IL processing of biomass, where it would seem that the choices of cation and anion are critical not only to the science of the dissolution, but to the ultimate 'greenness' of any process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multicellular morphotypes of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli produce cellulose as the second component of the extracellular matrix.
TL;DR: It is shown that, besides thin aggregative fimbriae, the second component of the extracellular matrix of the multicellular morphotype (rdar) of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli is cellulose.

TL;DR: Chemical and ultrastructural analyses together with map-based cloning indicate that the RSW1 locus of Arabidopsis encodes the catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase, which complements the rsw1 mutant whose temperature-sensitive allele is changed in one amino acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
CELLULOSE BIOSYNTHESIS: Exciting Times for A Difficult Field of Study.
TL;DR: Genetic evidence now supports the concept that members of this family encode the catalytic subunit of the cellulose synthase in these organisms, with various members showing tissue-specific expression.

Isolation and characterization of a cellulose-utilizing bacterium.
Y. W. Han,V. R. Srinivasan +1 more
TL;DR: A cellulose-decomposing aerobic and mesophilic bacterium has been isolated from soils of sugar cane fields as discussed by the authors, which was adapted to isolate a single clone of cellulolytic organism from closely related contaminants.
