AUTOMATED FILAMENTATION OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE

AUTOMATED FILAMENTATION OF BACTERIAL CELLULOSE addresses the resource-intensive production of textile materials and proposes an alternative concept through biofabrication. In an automated process, a yarn-like filament made from bacterially growing cellulose is fermented, harvested, washed, dried, and wound up.
The filament obtained is used to produce textiles and shows potential areas of application. Dyeing during the fermentation process expands the possibilities for design, and rethinks the common dyeing process.
