For the past 30 years, Tajima has been harnessing fermentation, during which some bacteria metabolize sugar to produce cellulose nanofibres that are much longer and more useful. “It’s very ...

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 ...

In recent years, there's been great interest in precision fermentation—using the rapid growth rate of microbes to produce foods and materials we want, such as milk grown without cows. One of the big ...

One of the big challenges with these approaches is scale. Bacterial cellulose is a similar form of fermentation. As a result, it faces similar challenges around scalability and efficiency.

Got a plant with a boo-boo? Try a plant Band-Aid. A pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria can act as a plant bandage, researchers report, significantly boosting healing and regeneration in ...

Develop a process to produce cellulase enzyme complex using solid agricultural waste substrates employing ligninolytic mycelial fungal cultures and cellulolytic bacterial cultures. ii. Design ...

A research team led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...
