Hierarchical Organisation in the Most Abundant Biopolymer –Cellulose
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 March 2013
Abstract
The most abundant biopolymer, cellulose, occurs as a supra-molecular organisation of poly-glucan chains. The cellulose produced by bacteria has been characterised by various techniques including SEM, AFM, PXRD and SAXS, to elucidate the multi-level organisation. A model has been developed to relate this organisation to the cellulose biosynthetic machinery in bacteria.
