The fashion for environmentally friendly materials has reached its peak. Most of us today would rather prefer cotton clothing than viscose. And in the near future, fans of everything natural will have the opportunity to show off in models, which are created using fabric created with the help of bacteria.
The world's first garment grown from bacteria was created by designer Suzanne Lee of London's St Martins School of Fashion and Textile. To obtain a unique material called "microbial cellulose" she mixed in a regular bath a colony of bacteria used in the preparation of caffeinated drinks, as well as yeast and sweet green tea.
Recently, an unusual fashion show took place in Moscow, which featured clothing collections created by employees of a construction company specializing in the production of office partition systems. Spectators of the unusual show saw 12 outfits of various styles and themes, which were united by the original use of building materials.
In this solution, bacteria begin to multiply, eventually turning into thin rags of tissue, from which you can later make clothes. When the microbial cellulose dries, it becomes a dense, papyrus-like fabric that can be bleached or coated with vegetable dyes like beetroot juice, indigo, or turmeric.
To connect the pieces of fabric, it is enough to press firmly on the joints of the fabric. Once these bio-clothes are worn out, they can be easily disposed of.
Microbial cellulose is part of the BioCouture research project, which aims to create strong and reliable tissues using matter from bacteria. To date, Suzanne Lee has already made a corrugated pulp jacket. The designer herself is seriously confident that sooner or later humanity will be able to literally grow clothes.

A toothbrush is a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria
A toothbrush is undoubtedly one of the most important components of personal hygiene. Any of us knows perfectly well that the brush should be changed at least once a quarter, and ideally once every two months. However, British scientists believe that the brush should not only be changed regularly, but also carefully monitor where it is stored.
Ladies' hands are teeming with bacteria
An interesting feature of the female body was discovered by American biologists. It turns out that germs and bacteria love women's hands. This fact confirms the fact that there are much less bacteria on the palms of men. Scientists at the University of Colorado used a powerful gene sequencing (sequence) method and found about 150 different bacteria living on the human hand.
There are more bacteria around women than around men
There are more germs on the desk than in the office restroom, and there are more germs on the desk of a woman than on the desk of her male counterpart, according to recent research. Overall, an office desktop has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet seat in an office toilet.
