Sucrose-fueled, energy dissipative, transient formation of molecular hydrogels mediated by yeast activity

Abstract

A biologically mediated, energy dissipative, reversible formation of fibrillar networks is reported. The process of gelation is linked to sucrose-fueled production of CO2 by baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Continuous fueling of the system is required to maintain the self-assembled fibrillar network.
