The present invention relates to a method of producing cellulose comprising the steps of: (i) culturing filamentous fungus having the ability to produce cellulose; and (ii) recovering cellulose from a culture obtained by the step (i) and cellulose produced by filamentous fungi. The present invention provides technology to produce cellulose from filamentous fungi. Further, the present invention provides novel cellulose, which is produced by filamentous fungi and can be utilized as various industrial materials, additives, and the like.
A method of producing cellulose comprising the steps of:
Cellulose produced by filamentous fungus.
Cellulose which has the physico-chemical properties of:
An isolated polysaccharide made by a process comprising the following steps
An isolated beta-(1→4)-glucan polysaccharide, wherein the polysaccharide is isolated from a culture or isolate of a filamentous fungus belonging to a genus Microdochium.
An isolated cellulose produced by a process comprising the steps of:
An isolated cellulose, wherein the cellulose is isolated from a sample comprising a secretion of a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Microdochium.
