Kombucha is a type of tea that is fermented using yeast and bacteria. During this process, a film made of cellulose is produced. This film has unique properties such as biodegradability, flexibility, shape conformability, and ability to self-grow, as...

On transducing properties of kombucha−proteinoid complexes (2024)
Journal Article
Mougkogiannis, P., Nikolaidou, A., & Adamatzky, A. (in press). On transducing properties of kombucha−proteinoid complexes. ACS Applied Biomaterials, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsabm.4c00535

We investigate the information processing capacities of kombucha−proteinoid proto−brains, focusing on the transducing properties through accommodation spiking, tonic bursting spiking, and optical and acoustic stimulation. We explore self-organization... Read More about On transducing properties of kombucha−proteinoid complexes.

Electroactive composite biofilms integrating Kombucha, Chlorella and synthetic proteinoid Proto-Brains (2024)
Journal Article
Nikolaidou, A., Mougkogiannis, P., & Adamatzky, A. (2024). Electroactive composite biofilms integrating Kombucha, Chlorella and synthetic proteinoid Proto-Brains. Royal Society Open Science, 11(5), Article 240238. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.240238

In this study, we present electroactive biofilms made from a combination of Kombucha zoogleal mats and thermal proteinoids. These biofilms have potential applications in unconventional computing and robotic skin. Proteinoids are synthesized by therma...
