Cerboxymethylcellulose (CMC) degrading activity and various sugars in addition to cellulose were detected in the culture broth after one day culture. These sugars increased gradually and were identified to some kinds of β-linked disaccharides such as gentiobiose and cellooligosaccharides. It is assumed that these were the degrading products from water soluble polysaccharide, acetan, as Acetobacter-cellulase could not degrade crystalline bacterial cellulose produced by itself. Cellulose activity correlated closely with cellulose and oligosaccharides production. Futhermore cellulose morphology changed as it was cultured in the presence of oligosaccharides such as getiobiose and cellobiose. The increases of cellulose production and cellulase activity were observed., Article, 先進ファイバー工学研究教育拠点研究成果報告書 10: 46-47(2004)}, title = {15-2-4 :セルロース生産微生物による機能性セルロースの創製; セルロース合成における高次構造制御}, year = {2004} }
