Biocellulose for Incisional Hernia Repair—An Experimental Pilot Study

Nanomaterials, 2019
Ventral or incisional hernia are a common disease pattern in general surgery. Most commonly, a mesh repair is used for reconstruction, whereby the mesh itself might cause complications, like infections or adhesions.

Bacterial Cellulose from Simple and Low Cost Production Media by Gluconacetobacter xylinus

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2012
Bacterial cellulose pellicles were produced by Gluconacetobacter xylinus using non conventional low-cost carbon sources, such as glycerol remaining from biodiesel production and grape bagasse, a residue of wine production. The carbon sources assayed showed their suitability for microbial cellulose production, with relatively high production values such

NMR Solution Structure of the N‐Terminal GSPII Domain from the Thermus Thermophilus Traffic ATPase PilF and Reconstruction of its c‐di‐GMP Binding Capability

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 7, April 1, 2025.
GSPII‐A is the first of three consecutive GSPII domains of PilF from Thermus thermophilus and the only one that does not bind c‐di‐GMP. In this study we solve the structure of GSPII‐A and show the key factors hindering c‐di‐GMP binding. Through mutagenesis, we elucidate the minimal motif conservation needed for c‐di‐GMP recognition. Abstract The cyclic
