cellulose biosynthesis protein BcsF
CBP_BcsF is a family of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis proteins. Cellulose is necessary for biofilm formation in bacteria [1,2]. [1]. 26077867. Bacterial cellulose biosynthesis: diversity of operons, subunits, products, and functions. Romling U, Galperin MY;. Trends Microbiol. 2015;23:545-557. [2]. 32788377.

cellulose biosynthesis protein BcsF is an inner membrane protein that may act at the early stages of Bcs macrocomplex assembly as a membrane triggering factor
Members of this protein family are found invariably together with genes of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, and are presumed to be involved in the process. Members average about 63 amino acids in length and are not uncharacterized. The gene has been designated both YhjT and BcsF (bacterial cellulose synthesis F).
