A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been ...

Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Scientists at Brazil's National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) have discovered a biocatalyst called ...

If you've ever made kombucha, you will be familiar with the term SCOBY—a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. It's impossible to miss—it's the floating biofilm on top of your delicious drink.

Bacterial building blocks Cellulose nanofibres are widely available, strong and recyclable. In general, cellulose nanofibres made from tree pulp are several micrometres-long or less, and therefore ...

The National Center for Research in Energy and Materials has filed a patent application for the enzyme, which is now being ...

Cellulose polymers are being produced by bacterial fermentation of organic matter, and used to create strong bioplastics. Researchers in Japan are now looking to improve polymer production levels ...

Researchers at Penn State University are developing a microbial fuel cell that consumes cellulose and generates electricity. They are doing this by combining two types of bacteria, one that can ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds.   - The regeneration process requires the activation ...
