Abstract
A method for producing non-cellulosic callose fiber by using plant protoplast, which imposes less burden to the environment with reduced energy consumption compared to conventional natural fibers is provided; it comprises the addition of an inorganic ion to a plant protoplast cultivation system, which leads the plant protoplast to produce non-cellulosic callose fiber.
Claims6
A method for producing non-cellulosic callose fiber from plant protoplast, comprising adding inorganic ions to a plant protoplast cultivation system, thereby making the plant protoplast produce non-cellulosic callose fiber.
A non-cellulosic callose fiber comprising β-1,3-glucan chains.
