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...

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article
Phillips, N., Remedios, S. W., Nikolaidou, A., Baracskai, Z., & Adamatzky, A. (2023). No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated. Ultrasonics, 135, Article 107111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultras.2023.107111

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...
