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

摘要

A cellulose-producing bacterium transformed with a gene coding for an enzyme related to sucrose metabolism; and a process for producing a cellulosic substance economically in a high yield by culturing the transformed bacterium in a sucrose-containing medium to produce and accumulate a cellulosic substance therein and recovering the same from the medium.
