Acetobacter cellulose synthase genes

Isolation and sequencing of the cellulose synthase gene(s) has not been accomplished yet however, DNA from Acetobacter xylinum containing this gene(s) was cloned into broad host-range plasmid vectors (82). These vectors were mobilized into Pel- mutants to test for complementation. To date, this approach has not produced a pellicle-forming transconjugant from a Pel- mutant of Acetobacter (82). The direct correlation between cellulose production and presence of plasmid DNA in Acetobacter has been reported...
