A new study has developed a sustainable filtration technology that transforms microalgae waste into high-performance membranes capable of removing ...

Cellulose, the major constituent of plant mass, is made up of long chains of sugar-like molecules, much in the same way that plastics are polymers made up of short repeating units. Cutting up these ...

Abstract: Bacterial Cellulose (BC) is a promising biodegradable biopolymer synthesized by bacteria in a low energy consumption process based solely on renewable materials (a sucrose-based culture is ...

ABSTRACT: For more than five decades, personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) have incorporated microplastics (MPs) into their formulations. Initially, naturally derived abrasives were employed; ...

A newly discovered virus hiding inside common gut bacteria may be linked to colorectal cancer, according to new research. Scientists in Denmark found that colorectal cancer patients were about twice ...

Scientists grew cellulose-spinning and pigment-producing bacteria together to create durable, rainbow-colored fabrics that could offer a sustainable dye alternative. “The industry relies on ...

Researchers from a couple of American universities are corralling bacteria with shear force, giving the tiny organisms renewed purpose. As a result, biodegradable bacterial cellulose can be ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Pectin is a structural polysaccharide, primarily composed of ...
