SOFT MATTER, 15(45), 9359–9367.
MeSH headings : Acetobacteraceae / chemistry; Bioengineering; Cellulose / chemistry; Nanostructures / chemistry; Porosity; Surface Tension
TL;DR:
It is shown that the pore shape, volume, and size distribution of bacterial nanocellulose membranes can be tailored under appropriate culture conditions specifically carbon sources.
