Komagataeibacter xylinus K1G4 genome sequencing
Cost-effective production of high value-added biomaterials by microbial transformations is a current challenge. Nowadays there is a great interest on the discovery and characterization of new biomaterials, especially focusing the environmental impact and the biocompatibility features of materials. In this scenario, bacterial cellulose (BC) has a central role, as naturally produced biopolymer by bacteria. K1G4 (UMCC2947) is a versatile cellulose producing organism.
