Plant-based plastics have become increasingly popular in recent years with growing concerns ... during which some bacteria metabolize sugar to produce cellulose nanofibres that are much longer ...

Two properties of this type of cellulose are that it supports wound healing and prevents infections. "However, the bacteria grow slowly and produce limited amounts of cellulose. We therefore had ...

But molasses — a by-product of sugar beet processing — becomes a viable feedstock for cellulose-producing bacteria after it is filtered through industrial membranes similar to those used in ...

Researchers at Penn State University are developing a microbial fuel cell that consumes cellulose and generates electricity. They are doing this by combining two types of bacteria, one that can ...

“A large amount of cellulose is produced that can grow on various sources of carbon, without being limited to substrates containing glucose and ethanol,” the statement said. Bacterial ...
