claimRecombinant silk fibroin is obtained from spider, dragline, or silkworm sources using synthetic biology and fermentation processes in bacteria, yeasts, animal cells, and plants, and is subsequently transformed into threads via spinning techniques.

procedureBiofibers can be produced through several methods: 1) culturing living microorganisms like bacteria and yeast as biofactories, 2) using single bacteria or symbiotic associations between bacteria and yeast, 3) using fungal mycelium scaffolding, and 4) extracting raw materials from agricultural wastes like vegetable biomass.

referenceBiofabricated materials are defined as materials entirely produced by living cells, such as mammalian cells, or microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi, according to Biofabricate and Fashion for Good (2020).

claimEngineered yeast can be used as cell factories to produce heterologous protein building blocks that biofabricate abrasion-resistant, water-resistant, breathable, lightweight, and durable materials with characteristics similar to leather.

claimTannins are distributed in various plant parts and serve as a natural defense against microbial invasion, exhibiting antibacterial effects against fungi, yeasts, bacteria, and viruses.

claimThionins, which are peptides found in barley and wheat, inhibit the proliferation of yeasts and both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria due to their cationic charge and disulfide bonds.

claimCandida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus are identified as the most common bacteria and yeast responsible for microbial infections in underdeveloped nations.

claimCandida albicans can alternate between two unique forms: a unicellular yeast that reproduces via budding and a form that produces elongated filaments comprising pseudomycelium.

claimFungi are filamentous organisms, with the exception of yeast which is single-celled, and their structure consists of long, slender, thread-like constructions called hyphae, which form a web known as mycelium.

claimKingdom Fungi includes organisms such as moulds, mushrooms, and yeast, which have various domestic and commercial applications.

claimBy the 1960s, scientists organized living things into a five-kingdom system consisting of Monera (bacteria), Protista (protozoa and algae), Fungi (mushrooms, yeasts, and molds), Plantae (plants), and Animalia (animals).
