Both hardwood and softwood fibers usually have widths less than that of a human hair, which measures about 50 micrometers across. The long, skinny strands of connected cellulose form what are called ...

Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called microfibrils, which are organized into macrofibrils that mediate structural stability in the plant cell wall.

Using the natural abilities of the non-genetically modified fungus, a research team from Jena has discovered a method for the ...

Give a bacteria-fungi biofilm access to sweetened tea and you can make not only kombucha –but a fibre vital to making clothing.
