This month's interesting facts about glycans - we take a look at "bacterial cellulose"! Yes you heard that correct! Cellulose is found all around us in the form of clothing, wood, paper products and is usually sourced from plants. But bacteria also produce a form of it.

It's great to see this #Caenorhabditis mannosidase III #glycotime manuscript out in @jbiolchem
Product of the @FWF_at project awarded to former postdoc Shi Yan showing how a specific mannosidase is necessary for the biosynthesis of a subset of complicated N-glycans.
