A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been published today in the journal Science Advances and includes collaborations with ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes ... Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth. Cellulose fibers are ...

It was once believed that cellulose was the structural material in the cell walls of all green plants. Now it appears that other substances are employed for this purpose in certain marine algae ...

The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make other useful substances, such as cellulose found in the cell walls and starch used as energy storage. The glucose can also be broken down in the ...

Made up of tiny threads known as cellulose microfibrils, plant cell walls are important ... ago with collaborators from Dartmouth College, we found that CESA and CSLD enzymes differ in the way ...

Plant-based plastics have become ... Last year, Tajima’s team, working with Satoh and Isono, found that reinforcing biodegradable resin with bacterial cellulose nanofibres creates a stiffer ...

The latest findings suggest potential applications in agriculture, such as facilitating grafting, preserving cut plant ...

The long, skinny strands of connected cellulose form what are called microfibrils. Within trees and other plants, the microfibrils are found in the plants’ cell walls. The cell walls are composed of ...

Despite not being from plants, the bacterial cellulose ... Researchers have found ways of growing this cellulose in molds shaped like pieces of clothing to avoid the 15–20% of material wasted ...
