Advanced Cellulose Research Studies

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

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 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.

The paper compares the stability of cellulose Iβ and II crystals by analyzing electrostatic, van der Waals, and hydrogen-bond interactions using classical force fields.

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

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

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