Fig. 5From: Missense mutations in a transmembrane domain of the Komagataeibacter xylinus BcsA lead to changes in cellulose synthesisComparison of radiolabeled glucose incorporation into the cellulose fraction of pellicles from K. xylinus wild type and plr mutants. Measurements were determined after bacterial cultures were incubated in 14C-glucose for five hours. The vertical axis is expressed as percentage of 14C-glucose detected in the insoluble fractions divided by the soluble plus insoluble fractions. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared to wild type according to two-tailed student t-test (p < 0.05). Values are the mean ± standard deviation (n = 6)Back to article page
