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 majority of recent studies on cellulose nanomaterials for tissue engineering have employed bacterial cellulose, a material with a profile of properties unique among biomaterials commonly used ...
"The Biosphere Cellulose Kitchen presents how the production of bacterial cellulose, as a replacement for single-use plastic, can be integrated into our everyday routines," told Abi Lambert Design.
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 ...
People pass gas 14 times per day, on average. This gas is produced by bacteria in the colon. In the colon, bacteria break down cellulose, so if undigested food enters the colon, there is more for the ...
Oct. 3, 2024 — Comamonadacae is a family of bacteria often found growing on plastics in water. A new study finds a bacterium in this family can break down the plastic for food. Researchers also ...
