`Since Fibrobacter succinogenes is an efficient saccharifier of cellulose, it has a potential to be used in the biological degradation of cellulose for biofuel production`

This month's interesting facts about glycans - we take a look at "bacterial cellulose"! Yes you heard that correct! Cellulose is found all around us in the form of clothing, wood, paper products and is usually sourced from plants. But bacteria also produce a form of it.

Super interesting and promising results on increasing tensing strength and modulus of PLA with cellulose. It is not only a biodegradable filler but also there are no risk of being potentially carcinogenic like carbon fibers. Looking forward to test such filament!

Researchers discover new route to recyclable polymers from plants

Researchers at Hokkaido University have taken a significant step forward in the drive to make recyclable yet stable plastics from plant materials.

Rural-living humans have a higher proportion of cellulose-digesting bacteria than those living in cities: around four times more!

Eating more highly processed foods and less fruits and vegetables may have led to this difference...

What is one phrase in your field of study that appears in nearly every paper introduction? For cellulose biosynthesis, I would have to say it's this:

"Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth."
