Researchers have modified certain bacteria with UV light so that they produce more cellulose. The basis for this is a new approach with which the researchers generate thousands of bacterial variants ...

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 ...

Bacteria produce materials that are of interest to humans, such as cellulose, silk and minerals. The advantage of producing bacteria in this way is that it is sustainable, takes place at room ...
