| Application: | Cellulose (medium fibers) is used in metabolic pathway and carbohydrate applications. Cellulose has been used to study biofuel and biorefinery applications. |
| Application: | Cellulose has been used: • for biomass analysis in pyrolysis process • in column chromatography to purify organisms from uninfected erythrocytes and white cells • as a standard in fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study conformational characteristics of bacterial cellulose (BC) obtained from Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium • as a control in diet-related animal studies to evaluate the hypocholesterolemic activity of botryosphaeran |
| Application: | High purity cellulose powders for partition chromatography. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cellulose helps in maintaining the structural stability of plant cell walls. It is an important component of paper and fabrics made from cotton, and linen. |
| General description: | Cellulose, a β-glucan insoluble in water is an important constituent of plant cell wall. It is a tough, fibrous polysaccharide, which has a linear chain of glucose residues, linked with β-1,4 bond. Plants produces this biopolymer abundantly. |
