Vilnius-Lithuania # Exullose – unlocking the potential of biomaterials # Researchers have shown an ever-growing interest in bio-based materials, driven by their sustainability and versatility for various industrial applications. Our quest for the ideal material to meet the demands of a complex world was accomplished by employing genetic engineering principles. We have created synthetic biology tools for in vivo alterations of bacterial cellulose composition in Komagataeibacter xylinus. This system was utilized to modify the cellulose polymer in three different ways: (1) bacterial cellulose-chitosan polymer was produced after cellulose-chitin deacetylation. ...
