  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Solid‐state <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C‐NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize native cellulose pellicles from two strains of <jats:bold><jats:italic>Gluconacetobacter xylinus</jats:italic></jats:bold> (ATCC 53582, ATCC 23769), which had been statically cultivated in Hestrin–Schramm (HS) medium containing fully <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C‐labeled β‐<jats:sc>D</jats:sc>‐glucose‐U‐<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C<jats:sub>6</jats:sub> as the sole source of carbon. For both samples, the <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C‐NMR chemical shifts were completely assigned for each <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C‐labeled site of cellulose <jats:italic>I</jats:italic><jats:sub>α</jats:sub> with the aid of 2D refocused INADEQUATE NMR. To determine the principal chemical shift tensor components, a pulse sequence based on the recoupling of anisotropy information (RAI) was applied at 10 kHz MAS. The detailed <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C tensors of cellulose <jats:italic>I</jats:italic><jats:sub>α</jats:sub> from different bacterial celluloses are thus available now for the first time, and these results have been compared with previously published data of nonenriched material and with theoretical predictions.
