like cellulose.

Creating cellulose based ethanol means first unwrapping that protective sheath and then chopping up the cellulose into its individual glucose molecule.

Plants use cellulose to keep themselves strong.

Insects cannot metabolise cellulose independently, but the presence of these bacteria allow cellulose to be metabolised into basic sugars.

Then, they add a source of cellulose as the sole form of energy.

Using cellulose instead of corn grain to make ethanol.

Cellulose is the main ingredient found in a plant's cell wall.

In 1900, fishermen diving for sponges spied a bronze hand on the see floor.

You cannot learn swimming on a foam mattress and enter into water.

The hydroxyl groups on the cellulose are reported to help stabilize the particles.

like bacteria or fungi, break down cellulose for energy all the time.

So they're spinning these tiny nano fibers of pure cellulose.

But if the microbe produces the enzymes we are looking for, it will be able to break down cellulose, use it for energy, and thrive in its test tube environment.

Cellulose is far more abundant than corn grain and takes less energy to produce.

Really good designers are like sponges they really are curious and absorb every kind of information that comes their way, and transform it so that it can be used by people like us.

From 1845 (when this was discovered by Schmidt) until 1958 (when cellulose fibres were found in mammalian connective tissue), ascidians were believed to be the only animals that synthesised cellulose.

Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate found in plants that our body cannot break down.

Plants generate cellulose from water and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Microbes that live in their stomachs produce an enzyme called cellulase, which breaks apart the cellulose molecules so that the cow can use what's left for energy.

If the microbe can't produce cellulase and break down cellulose, the test tube will remain unchanged.

If our microbial sample can break down the cellulose in the test tube, there is a chance we could use it to create a renewable and sustainable source of fuel for our cars from cellulose.

What I'm not suggesting is that microbial cellulose is going to be a replacement for cotton, leather or other textile materials.

Generating ethanol from cellulose using mycelium as an intermediary and you gain all the benefits that I've described to you already.

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being used for wound healing, and possibly in the future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly even replacement bone tissue.

To test whether or not a sample of microbes can break down cellulose effectively, researchers first grow the microbe in a test tube.

The main obstacle is that the cellulose molecule, a long, connected chain of glucose sugar protected by a tough, molecular sheath, is difficult to break apart.

And because of the super absorbency of this kind of cellulose, it just takes one, and a really short one at that.

I'm essentially using a kombucha recipe, which is a symbiotic mix of bacteria, yeasts and other micro organisms, which spin cellulose in a fermentation process.

So, where as using fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide, using cellulose based ethanol might help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being used for wound healing, and possibly in the future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly even replacement bone tissue.

But what we're going to talk about today is really design. Really good designers are like sponges they really are curious and absorb every kind of information that comes their way, and transform it so that it can be used by people like us.

Finally, I came to know it is a special cellulose derived from a pinewood, but even after that, you need a multimillion dollar plant like this to process that material.

Finally, I came to know it is a special cellulose derived from a pinewood, but even after that, you need a multimillion dollar plant like this to process that material. Again, a stop up.

Every part of the ecosystem in this place seems very healthy, from tiny, little animals like a nudibrank crawling over encrusting sponge or a leatherjacket that is a very important animal in this ecosystem because it grazes on the bottom and allows new life to take hold.
