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 have found ways of growing this cellulose in moulds shaped like pieces of clothing to avoid the 15-20% of material wasted by cutting fabric. Bacterial cellulose might offer a way to ...

This oxygen attracted the cellulose-producing bacteria, guiding them directly onto the metal stent’s surface. Over several days, the bacteria gradually produced a dense, fiber-based network that ...

IT is well known that when dyed cellulose fabrics are printed with pastes containing the reducing agent sodium sulphoxylate formaldehyde, and steamed, in order to produce a white design on a ...

“A large amount of cellulose is produced that can grow on various sources of carbon, without being limited to substrates containing glucose and ethanol,” the statement said. Bacterial ...
