Unraveling Self-Assembly Mechanisms in Bacterial Cellulose Hydrogels

This study investigates the self-assembly mechanisms of bacterial cellulose hydrogels by analyzing bacterial movement and cellulose secretion dynamics.

Exploring Genome-Wide Mutation Dynamics and Bacterial Cellulose Impairment in Komagataeibacter intermedius Cultivated Under Agitation Stress

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.

Using solid-state NMR to understand the structure of plant cellulose

This study uses solid-state NMR to resolve the structure of plant cellulose microfibrils, revealing two interior glucose environments and four surface environments, challenging previous assumptions about crystallinity.

Hybrid Living Capsules Autonomously Produced by Engineered Bacteria

This paper describes a method to produce hybrid living capsules using engineered bacteria, enabling programmable material properties and enzymatic functions.

Living materials with programmable functionalities grown from engineered microbial co-cultures

This paper develops a synthetic symbiotic co-culture system to engineer bacterial cellulose with programmable functional properties.

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