No closely related fungus species are known to be toxic, but the cotton-like fibrous structure and smell of radishes probably rule this out as an object of culinary attention.
Cotton is a fibrous material with essentially intact fibre wall morphology.
In the present study, a fibrous matrix (cotton towel, Skyshow Textiles Co. Ltd. Shanghai, China) was selected after experimental examinations as the support for C. acetobutylicum B3 biofilm formation.
Cotton, wool, waste silk, other fibrous plant materials and animal fur and hair, and artificial staple are subjected to carding.
They work better than lint-free cotton because they leave less fibrous material on the surface of the stainless steel.
The results showed that ammonia gas could well be decomposed by the fibrous TiO2 photocatalysts based on cotton and flax fabrics.
Diagnoses of diabetic retinopathy were made by ophthalmologists based on the presence of one or more of the following clinical features in the fundus: hemorrhages, hard or soft exudate, venous beading, intra-retinal microvascular abnormalities, cotton-wool spots, pre-retinal new vessels, fibrous proliferation and/or photocoagulation scars.
The cellulose citrate conjugates of glucose and fructose were prepared on cotton gauze by rapid acid-catalyzed esterification of fibrous cellulose with citric acid as an ester cross-linking agent.
Any DR was defined as present if the level was ≥15; that is, the presence of any of the following lesions: microaneurysms, hemorrhages, hard exudate, cotton wool spots, venous loops/beading, intraretinal microvascular abnormalities, fibrous proliferations, vitreous hemorrhages, and new vessels.
