{{Imperial/Box1|Cellulose|Although the bacterial cellulose has been known of for decades, it was not until X-ray crystallography studies that the structure was revealed. On the molecular level chains of glucose join together in repeating units that build up microfibers. These microfibers randomly assemble into fibers of ~130nm width. During the drying process of bacterial cellulose the fibers arrange parallel to each others in layers. These give the dried cellulose sheets high stability and strength to the cellulose sheets. | {{Imperial/Box1|Cellulose|Although the bacterial cellulose has been known of for decades, it was not until X-ray crystallography studies that the structure was revealed.
