Bacterial cellulose

Scientists have figured out a way to produce bacterial cellulose by Gluconacetobacter hansenii using only waste beer yeast as nutrient source.[4]

gollark: It's one of those things which while *strictly speaking* not required *is* very important.
gollark: Well, at least I don't have a shop in wolfmall...
gollark: Just regular player ones.
gollark: In fairness, HydroNitrogen didn't use *moderator* powers to annoy me.
gollark: I'm sure that *some of it* is just altruism, but there *is* clearly profit-making, and I am kind of offended that he's decided that pointing that out makes me pure evil.
