  • Cellulose produced by filamentous fungi
    Patent number: 6958227
    Abstract: 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.
