This feature article summarizes recent developments in the field of so-called aminodeoxy cellulose derivatives ("amino celluloses") that are applied for functional surface coating of biofunctional materials. After introducing common manufacturing methods for nanostructurized substrates (material surfaces and nanoparticles) biorelevant amino celluloses are described. It could be demonstrated that cellulose is a unique starting material for chemical modification of hydroxyl groups and the adjacent carbon atom. Amino celluloses are proved to be the modifiable polymer of choice for the biofunctionalization of material surfaces. Amino celluloses possess self assembling properties and may form monolayer composites on a variety of substrate materials.

Mesoporous materials have garnered significant interest because of their porous structure, large surface area and ease of surface functionalization to incorporate the functional groups of choice. Herein, chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNPs) were prepared using quaternary amino silane as the template, tetramethyl orthosilicate as the silica source and proline and cellulose as chiral selector. The developed CMSNPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, BET surface area analysis and BJH pore size/volume analysis.

Herein, a citrus processing wastewater-based biorefinery has been developed manufacturing essential oils, polyphenols and bacterial cellulose. Liquid-liquid extraction was evaluated for isolation of essential oils assessing different organic solvents, recovering 0.45 kg of essential oils per m of wastewater using n-heptane.

De novo RNA-sequencing of Wolfiporia cocos mycelia cultured with filter paper composed of cellulose as the sole carbon source revealed a total of five expressed β-glucosidase genes. Among these, the β-glucosidase named Wcbg1B-1, which is composed of 539 amino acid residues and belongs to the GH1 family, had the highest mRNA abundance, accounting for 65 % of the total mRNA of the five expressed β-glucosidases. The recombinant Wcbg1B-1 was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, with an optimal pH of 6.

Potassium metal batteries (KMBs) hold promise for stationary energy storage with certain cost and resource merits. Nevertheless, their practicability is greatly handicapped by dendrite-related anodes, and the target design of specialized separators to boost anode safety is in its nascent stage. Here, we develop a thermally robust biopolymeric separator customized via a solvent-exchange and amino-siloxane decoration strategy to render durable and safe KMBs.

Lignin, as the abundant carbon polymer, is essential for carbon cycle and biorefinery. Microorganisms interact to form communities for lignin biodegradation, yet it is a challenge to understand such complex interactions. Here, we develop a coastal lignin-degrading bacterial consortium (LD), through "top-down" enrichment.
