From Golgi body movement to cellulose microfibril alignment
The shape and strength of plant cells is determined by a combination of turgor pressure and constraining cell wall. The main load bearing structures in the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils (CMFs), are deposited in highly organized textures. For more than 50 years scientists have tried to elucidate how the organized CMF textures are being generat...
Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase-hydrolase30 negatively affects salt tolerance in Arabidopsis.
...
Plants have evolved various strategies to sense and respond to saline environments, which severely reduce plant growth and limit agricultural productivity. Alteration to the cell wall is one strategy that helps plants adapt to salt stress. However, the physiological mechanism of how the cell wall components respond to salt stress is not fully under...
Biotechnological valorization of agro industrial and household wastes for lactic acid production
Lactic acid (LA) is an organic compound used in several industries, such as food, textile, chemical, and pharmaceutical. The global interest in this product is due to its use for the synthesis of numerous chemical compounds, including polylactic acid, a biodegradable thermoplastic and substitute for petroleum-derived plastics. An in-depth overview ...

Xylan degradation by the anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides xylanolyticus
Plant cell walls are the major reservoir of fixed carbon in nature. The mineralization of the fiber material, the so called lignocellulosic complex, proceeds almost exclusively by microbial processes in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. In anaerobic microbial processes the energy of the plant polymers can be conserved in fermentation product...
Industrial products from carbohydrates, wood and fibres
Carbohydrates are the most widespread class of compounds in nature and are produced in enormous amounts by all plants. Seventy-five percent of the annual biomass production by photosynthesis, i.e. 170 ×109t, are carbohydrates. However, only 6% of this annual production is being used by human beings (62% for food, 33% for energy and housing and only...
Cellulose Amorphization by Swelling in Ionic Liquid/Water Mixtures: A Combined Macroscopic and Second-Harmonic Microscop...
Amorphization of cellulose by swelling in ionic liquid (IL)/water mixtures at room temperature is a suitable alternative to the dissolution–precipitation pretreatment known to facilitate enzymatic digestion. When soaking microcrystalline cellulose in the IL 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate containing 20 wt% water, the crystallinity of the cellul...
Cellulose hydrogel skeleton by extrusion 3D printing of solution
Published in Nanotechnology Reviews
Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on earth, which has obtained increasing interest in the field of functional materials development for its renewable, high mechanical performance and environmental benign. In this study, the traditional processing method (wet spinning and film production) of cellulose-based materials was applied by usin...
Electrospun Nanocomposites Containing Cellulose and Its Derivatives Modified with Specialized Biomolecules for an Enhanc...
Published in Nanomaterials
Wound healing requires careful, directed, and effective therapies to prevent infections and accelerate tissue regeneration. In light of these demands, active biomolecules with antibacterial properties and/or healing capacities have been functionalized onto nanostructured polymeric dressings and their synergistic effect examined. In this work, vario...
