Abstract excerpt
A wild-type Acetobacter pasteurianus was subjected to chemical mutagenesis for the induction and isolation of a cellulose overproducing strain. A mutagenized strain capable of synthesizing double amounts of cellulose compared to the wild type was obtained. Cellulose, both from the wild-type and the mutagenized strain, was extracted and purified for chemical characterization and investigation of its...
