THE work of Hassid et al.1–3 on the cell-free synthesis of cellulose with an enzyme system isolated from mung bean seedlings and young cotton bolls has shown that the enzyme is apparently unable to distinguish guanosine diphosphate-D-glucose from guanosine diphosphate-D-mannose. Moreover, there was a notable decrease in the amount of the synthesized cellulose using enzymes from cotton bolls older than 15 days.
