Scalable bacterial production of moldable and recyclable biomineralized cellulose with tunable mechanical properties

Sustainable structural materials with excellent impact-resistance properties are urgently needed but challenging to produce, especially in a scalable fashion and with control over 3D shape. Here, we show that bacterial cellulose (BC) and bacterially precipitated calcium carbonate self-assemble into a layered structure reminiscent of tough...

Bacterially Grown Cellulose/Graphene Oxide Composites Infused with γ-Poly (Glutamic Acid) as Biodegradable Structural Materials with Enhanced Toughness

Bioinspired bacterial cellulose (BC) composites are next-generation renewable materials that exhibit promising industrial applications. However, large-scale production of inorganic/organic BC composites by in situ fermentation remains difficult. The methods based on BC mechanical disintegration impair the mechanical property of dried BC films...
