    Abstract : Cellulose is a biopolymer of great relevance in the plant cell walls, where it constitutes the most important skeletal component. Cellulose is also an important raw material in the pulp- and paper, forest, and textile industries, among others. READ MORE

  5. 13. Analyzing the properties and biosynthesis of β-glucans from Gluconacetobacter and poplar

    Author : Erik Malm; Vincent Bulone; Paul Dupree; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose synthesis; Bioinformatics; Proteomics; Cell wall;

    Abstract : Glucans are polysaccharides integral to many materials and biological functions. Under the umbrella of Biomime, the Swedish Center for Biomimetic Fiber Engineering, this work has aimed to improve basic understanding of the biosynthesis of such glucans. READ MORE

  6. 14. Cell wall biosynthesis in the pathogenic oomycete Saprolegnia parasitica

    Author : Elzbieta Rzeszutek; Vincent Bulone; Carol Munro; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose biosynthesis; chitin biosynthesis; cellulose synthase genes; chitin synthase genes; oomycetes; Saprolegnia parasitica; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : The oomycete Saprolegnia parasitica is a fungus-like microorganism responsible for the fish disease saprolegniosis, which leads to important economic losses in aquaculture. Currently, there is no efficient method to control the infection and therefore methods for disease management are urgently needed. READ MORE

  7. 15. The effect of wood properties on oxidative isolation of cellulose nanofibrils and characterization of networks
