The structure of the enzyme that makes cellulose has been uncovered by researchers, a finding that could lead to easier ways of breaking down plant materials to make biofuels and other products and ...

A new study tests whether spent yeast from breweries can supply cellulose scaffolds that support lab-grown meat production.

“While it’s relatively easy to grow animal cells for mass food production you need to be able to grow them on something cheap ...

Cellulose is the most abundant natural product in the biosphere 1, with plant cell walls representing the most important source, where it serves as a structural component 2. During plant growth, the ...

What is Wood Cellulose and Why is it Used? Wood cellulose, derived from plant fibers, is often added to grated cheese to prevent clumping. This functional additive helps maintain the texture and flow ...

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 ...

To build resilient colonies, bacteria make a surprising tweak to a common substance found in cells. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on the planet. It makes celery stringy and plants’ ...
