Nature-inspired engineering offers an alternative approach to solving key sustainability challenges in bioprocessing by looking to fundamental mechanisms that occur in nature for inspiration on solutions to key bioprocessing obstacles. The degradation of cellulosic materials at low temperatures pose...
