We found that Acetobacter xylinum KU-1 produced cellulose from D-arabitol. The maximum cellulose production was obtained when it was grown in a medium containing 2.0% D-arabitol, 1.0% tryptone, and 1.0% yeast extract (pH 5) at 30°C for 96h statically. The productivity was more than 6 times as much as that of D-glucose [productivity (mg/ml-medium): from D-arabitol, 12.4; from D-glucose, 2.0].
