Growing Strength: The Dynamic Biosynthesis of Bacterial Cellulose

Plastics are everywhere—and so are their health and environmental costs. This episode dives into a radical alternative: a bio-grown, customizable material—bacterial cellulose—made stronger and smarter through dynamic biosynthesis using a rotating bioreactor. By embedding nanosheets like boron nitride, it reaches metal-like strength and superior heat management, with tunable properties for packaging, textiles, electronics, and even construction. Could this scalable, eco-friendly material redefine the future of plastics?
