In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

cellulose synthase enzyme complexes (cream) and associate into elementary fibrils (light brown) that further assemble into a microfibril network, forming the main scaffold for the cell wall.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) from G. xylinum is produced as a porous nanofibrillar structure consisting of fibrils with diameters of less than 100 nm. The 'pellicles' produced under static culture may ...

scientists can be funny too), the fermented fashion project uses a colony of Acetobacter bacteria — the kind that ferment wine into vinegar – to create 'micro fibrils of cellulose', a material ...
