This project investigates the role of a cellulose synthase enzyme in the development and attachment of the bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. By understanding how cellulose contributes to bacterial cell wall structure, the research aims to uncover new insights into microbial growth and attachment mechanisms.
Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer in nature being a structural component of the cell wall of most plants.
This highly insoluble polymer is degraded by filamentous fungi and actinomycetes, which secrete numerous enzymes tailored to fulfill this task.
Streptomyces coelicolor is the best-studied representative of the actinomycetes, and a model organism for understanding prokaryotic development.
It forms reproductive aerial hyphae after a period of assimilative growth.
Unexpectedly, we…
