Various growth forms
Sample tests:
1. Culturing and growth of GR mycleium (from both plates and LC) on living (non-dehydrated) bacterial cellulose - allowing organims to grow into one another.
2. Adhering GR mycelium to dried bacterial cellulose membranes
3. Adhesion of both membranes before dehydration and allowing them to adhere during dehydration.
Notes on finishes:
Processing with plasticizers like soy lethicin and glycerol were added to keep malleability in the samples.
One bacterial cellulose sample was smoked prior to inoculation to test the contraction and therefore increased hydrophobocity of the membrane though the process of smoking (as in traditional leather tanning techniques).
