Fig. 2

Crystalline cellulose formed by K. xylinus wild type, plr15, bcsAA449T, and bcsAA449V. The crystalline cellulose content of pellicles from wild type (WT), plr15, bcsAA449T, and bcsAA449V mutants in SH (gray bars) or SH + pellicin (white bars) determined by the method described by Updegraff [30]. The crystalline cellulose is expressed as glucose equivalents per dry weight (μg/mg). Values are the mean ± standard deviation of three biological replicates. ND denotes that no glucose equivalents were detected. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between pellicin-treated and pellicin-untreated cultures according to one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05)
