Site-specific processing of phosphoethanolamine cellulose by the BcsZ cellulase reveals stochastic biofilm cellulose modification

Surprisingly, the periplasmic cellulase BcsZ, encoded in the cellulose biosynthesis operon, is necessary for efficient bacterial cellulose production and functions independently of the biosynthetic complex to clear mislocalized pEtN cellulose from the periplasm.
