Novel cellulose-producing bacteria including onencapable of producing of a bacterial cellulose having anweight-average degree of polymerization in terms ofnpolystyrene of 1.6 x 10 4 or above, one capable of producingna bacterial cellulose containing a small amount of thenfraction with low degrees of polymerization, one producing anBingham polysaccharide as a by-product, and one producing ansmall amount of water-soluble polysaccharide; a method fornthe production of bacterial cellulose, which comprisesnculturing these cellulose-producing bacteria; and bacterialncellulose thus obtained. |
