| Popis: | The three-dimensional morphology of native bacterial cellulose is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. In addition, it is shown by scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy with positive staining by phosphotungstic acid ions that aggregates of microfibrils of native cotton cellulose have a similar structure. The results are consistent with previous reports on microfibrils of algal cellulose. These observations exclude a simple spinneret process as a mechanism of formation of the microfibrils of these sources of cellulose. |
