Bacterial Cellulose Modeling
How fast can PETase CBD degrade a bottle with cellulose binding?
A 500mL PET water bottle from a common brand weight 4 grams, is 23 centimeters tall, and has a diameter of 7 cm. If we flatten this bottle out into a sheet, its surface area will be roughly 1000 square centimeters. This sheet will be covered by sheets of bacterial cellulose on either side.
