The mechanisms for the biosynthesis of three polysaccharides are presented: (i) starch synthesized by starch synthase and adenosine diphospho glucose; (ii) dextran synthesized by Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMC dextransucrase and sucrose; and (iii) Acetobacter xylinum cellulose synthesized by cel
## Abstract Measurement of the yield of cellulose in glucoseβcontaining cultures of __Acetobacter acetigenum__ as a function of inoculum size and growth time has suggested a general physical mechanism of cellulose synthesis. The physical mechanism is that a certain number of chain initiators, or pr
