WAXS and 13C NMR study of Gluconoacetobacter xylinus cellulose in composites with tamarind xyloglucan.
TL;DR: The presence of xyloglucan has a profound effect on the formation of the cellulose crystallites by G. xylinus, and when the composites were refluxed in buffer, the proportion of cellulose I(beta) allomorph increased relative to that of cellulOSE I(alpha).

Solid-State 13C NMR Study of a Composite of Tobacco Xyloglucan and Gluconacetobacter xylinus Cellulose: Molecular Interactions between the Component Polysaccharides
TL;DR: The results were not compatible with extensive hydrogen bonding between XG and cellulose, but were consistent with a composite structure in which cellulose crystallites were embedded in a matrix of XG with a semirigid (straightened backbone) conformation, that is, a matrix that is partly ordered rather than amorphous.

TL;DR: This chapter describes how proton spin relaxation editing can be used to obtain subspectra for cell-wall polysaccharides of different mobilities and describes the techniques used for obtaining spectra using CP/MAS, proton-rotating frame, Proton spin-spin, spin-echo relaxation spectra, and single-pulse excitation.

Solid‐state 13C‐NMR spectroscopy shows that the xyloglucans in the primary cell walls of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) occur in different domains: a new model for xyloglucan–cellulose interactions in the cell wall
TL;DR: The results lend support to the postulated new cell-wall models in which only a small proportion of the total surface area of the cellulose microfibrils has XG adsorbed on to it, and the partly-rigid XGs were predominant in the cell walls.
