So this is telling us that the fermentation is in
full swing. And the bacteria are feeding on the
sugar nutrients in the liquid. So they're
spinning these tiny nano fibers of pure
cellulose.

And when it's ready to harvest, you take it out
of the bath and you wash it in cold, soapy water.
Again, you can do that outside and just let it
dry in the air. And as it's drying, it's
compressing.

So the color in this jacket is coming purely from
green tea. I guess it also looks a little bit
like human skin, which intrigues me. Since it's
organic,I'm really keen to try and minimize the
addition of any chemicals. I can make it change
color without using dye by a process of iron
oxidation.  ????????????? ??????????? ???????? ???

Using fruit and vegetable staining, create
organic patterning. And using indigo, make it
anti-microbial. And in fact, cotton would take up
to 18 dips in indigo to achieve a color this
dark. And because of the super-absorbency of this
kind of cellulose, it just takes one, and a
really short one at that. ????????? ???????? ?????

What I can't yet do is make it water-resistant. So
if I was to walk outside in the rain wearing
this dress today, I would immediately start to
absorb huge amounts of water. The dress would get
really heavy, and eventually the seams would
probably fall apart -- leaving me feeling rather
naked. ???????? ?? ??????????? ????????? ????????

Possibly a good performance piece, but definitely
not ideal for everyday wear. What I'm looking
for is a way to give the material the qualities
that I need. So what I want to do is say to a
future bug, "Spin me a thread. Align it in this
direction. Make it hydrophobic. And while you're
at it, just form it around this 3D
shape." ???????????? ???????? ???? ??????? ??????

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being
used for wound healing, and possibly in the
future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly
even replacement bone tissue. But with synthetic
biology, we can actually imagine engineering this
bacterium to produce something that gives us the
quality, quantity and shape of material that we
desire.  ??????????????? ???? ??????????? ???????

Obviously, as a designer, that's really
exciting because then I start to think, wow, we
could actually imagine growing consumable
products ????? ????????? ??????????

What excites me about using microbes is their
efficiency. So we only grow what we need. There's
no waste. And in fact, we could make it from a
waste stream -- so for example, a waste sugar
stream from a food processing plant.  ???????????

Finally, at the end of use, we could biodegrade
it naturally along with your vegetable
peelings. What I'm not suggesting is that
microbial cellulose is going to be a
replacement for cotton, leather or other textile
materials. But I do think it could be quite a
smart and sustainable addition to our
increasingly precious natural resources. ?????

Ultimately, maybe it won't even be fashion where
we see these microbes have their impact. We
could, for example, imagine growing a lamp, a
chair, a car or maybe even a house. So I guess
what my question to you is in the future, what
would you choose to grow? Thank you very
much. ??????????? ?????????????? ??????
