Cellufluor is a fluorescent whitening agent widely used in the textile and paper industries, as well as in biological research. It specifically binds to polysaccharides containing β-1,3 and β-1,4 glycosidic bonds (such as cellulose and chitin), producing strong fluorescence when excited by ultraviolet or short-wavelength visible light, and is used to visualize cell wall structures. In microbiology, Cellufluor enables rapid and sensitive detection of chitin and cellulose in the cell walls of fungi, algae, and plants. Due to the absence of cell wall polysaccharide structures, Cellufluor typically does not stain mammalian cells.
