Abstrakt: Besides plants also some bacterial genera are able to synthesize cellulose in remarkably high quantities. Bacterial cellulose from the acetic acid bacterium Komagataeibacter hansenii has a big advantage supporting its use as multifunctional and sustainable material — it is free of non-cellulosic components, unlike cellulose of plant origin. Based on marker-free in frame deletions, we propose a model where cellulose fibers released by the main cellulose synthase (BcsAB1) are modified by two additional cellulose synthases.
