This paper engineers the bacterial cellulose-forming surface to recruit proteins, creating functionalized biocomposites with improved material properties.

This paper benchmarks signal peptide-mediated protein translocation in Komagataeibacter rhaeticus to enable in situ functionalization of bacterial nanocellulose during biosynthesis.

This study investigates mutation dynamics in Komagataeibacter intermedius under agitation stress, finding that non-structural variations, not structural ones, drive the loss of bacterial cellulose production.

This study develops an integrated multi-analytical workflow to comprehensively profile biomass hydrolysate for downstream valorization.

This paper develops sRNA-based post-transcriptional repression cassettes to modulate BC crystallinity in K. xylinus, achieving gene expression reductions and structural changes in nanocellulose.
