In Acetobacter xylinum its biosynthesis is controlled by the operon acsA/bcsA [eh-see-ess-eh slash bee-see-ess-eh]. Differentiable from amylose due to the orientation of its connections, this compound is highly soluble in such solvents as NMNO and cadoxen, and it has been theorized that water molecules align its chains through hydrogen bond bridging. Each of its residues is oriented 180 degrees relative to the next, and its beta-1-4-glycosidic linkages can only be broken by a select few microorganisms.
