Bacterial cellulose: a versatile biopolymer for wound dressing applications
TL;DR: This review assesses the BC main features and emphasis is given to a specific biomedical application: wound dressings, with particular focus on the biochemistry and genetic manipulation of BC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of geometrical features using wire and arc additive manufacture
TL;DR: In this paper, inclined and horizontal wall features have been built using an inclined torch position and a range of travel speeds has been investigated to better understand the effect of travel speed on part quality for angled walls.

TL;DR: A new photonic structure is produced from cellulose nanocrystal iridescent films reflecting both right and left circularly polarized light that is reversibly tuned by the application of an electric field or a temperature variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct Domestication Trajectories in Top-Fermenting Beer Yeasts and Wine Yeasts.
Margarida Gonçalves,Ana Pontes,Pedro Almeida,Raquel Barbosa,Marta Serra,Diego Libkind,Mathias Hutzler,Paula Gonçalves,José Paulo Sampaio +8 more
TL;DR: The results revealed that top-fermenting beer yeasts are polyphyletic, with a main clade composed of at least three subgroups, dominantly represented by the German, British, and wheat beer strains.
