CELLULOSE-PRODUCING BACTERIUM TRANSFORMED WITH GENE CODING FOR ENZYME RELATED TO SUCROSE METABOLISM

摘要

A method for the production of a cellulosic product, which comprises: culturing a cellulose-producing microorganism transformed with a gene for an enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism in a medium containing sucrose, allowing the cellulosic product to be produced and accumulated in the medium, and collecting the cellulosic product. By the present method, the cellulosic product can be produced efficiently and economically.
