Summary
The refreshing kombucha tea that's all the rage these days among certain global demographics might also hold the key to affordable, environmentally sustainable living membranes for water filtration, according to a recent paper published in the American Chemical Society journal ACS ES&T Water. Just combine tea and sugar with a kombucha culture known as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). A new "daughter" SCOBY will be floating right at the top of the liquid (technically known in this form as a pellicle).Beyond its popularity as a beverage, kombucha holds promise as a useful biomaterial.
