Genetic organization of bcs operon [3]. A When bcsA (green) is activated by c-di-GMP, it incorporates glucose units into a cellulose chain in the cytoplasm using UDP glucose as a substrate. BcsB (blue) guides the glucan chain through the periplasm; bcsD (orange) crystallizes four glucan chains in the periplasm, and finally, bcsC (gray) exports the BC micro-fibrils into the extracellular space. B The genetic organization of the bcs operon encoding the bacterial cellulose synthase complex, with regulatory cmcax, ccpAx genes upstream bgIAx gene downstream the operon. The genes in the bcs operon (B) are color-matched with their protein products (A). This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
