Self-dyeing textiles grown from cellulose-producing bacteria with engineered tyrosinase expression

This paper engineers Komagataeibacter rhaeticus to produce self-dyeing bacterial cellulose through melanin biosynthesis, enabling sustainable textile fabrication.

Komagataeibacter tool kit (KTK): a modular cloning system for multigene constructs and programmed protein secretion from cellulose producing bacteria

The paper introduces a modular cloning system for genetic engineering in Komagataeibacter bacteria to enable multigene construct assembly and programmed protein secretion.

Engineered cell-to-cell signalling within growing bacterial cellulose pellicles

This paper engineers cell-to-cell communication in bacterial cellulose-producing bacteria to enable differential gene expression based on proximity within growing materials.
