Li X, Speicher T, Dees D, Mansoori N, McManus J, Tien M, et al.
Plant J . 2019 Apr; 99(5):862-876. PMID: 31021018
In seed plants, cellulose is synthesized by rosette-shaped cellulose synthesis complexes (CSCs) that are obligate hetero-oligomeric, comprising three non-interchangeable cellulose synthase (CESA) isoforms. The moss Physcomitrella patens has rosette CSCs...

McManus J, Wilson L, Yang H, Kubicki J, Tien M
Enzyme Microb Technol . 2018 Sep; 119:24-29. PMID: 30243383
The Gram-negative bacterium, Gluconacetobacter hansenii, has been long studied and is a model for cellulose synthesis. It produces cellulose, using the enzyme AcsA-AcsB, of exceptionally high crystallinity in comparison to...
